Arthur Breur is joining other music business subject experts presenting January 6 – 8, 2022 in the 2022 Ultimate Music Business Summit (www.MusicSummit.biz). This year, he will be presenting with fellow composers Lisa Neher and Garrett Hope, discussing creating artist-in-residency opportunities.
After working with both the Tualatin Valley Symphony (“TVS”) and the (unrelated) Tualatin Valley Community Band (TVCB), Arthur found himself repeatedly visiting and working with both ensembles. In collaboration with TVCB’s board president, Phil Pastelis, Arthur created a template for a mutually beneficial “Composer in Residence” agreement, and is now Composer in Residence for both TVS and TVCB. Following his template, first Garrett and then Lisa also created their own residencies.
The three will discuss the process of conceptualizing a residency, finding an organization to work with, and the agreement terms that create a customized, mutually beneficial Artist Residency with no financial requirement to the organization and no additional activities required by the artist than they would be doing in the first place.
This year, in addition to presenting, Arthur is a member of the Summit’s executive team along with Dr. Heidi Kay Begay and Dr. Garrett Hope.
