Music / Composition
Originally from Minnesota and currently based in Brooklyn, NY, Zosha Warpeha is a composer-performer working in a meditative space at the intersection of contemporary improvisation and folk traditions. She performs primarily on Hardanger d’amore, a sympathetic-stringed instrument closely related to the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle, as well as five-string violin. Her current acoustic and electro-acoustic work is informed by the cyclical forms, rhythmic elasticity, and the physical momentum of Nordic folk music.
During her Anderson Center residency, Zosha worked on a site-specific body of work for Hardanger d’amore, voice, and resonant space, utilizing two acoustically resonant structures at Tower View: the silo and the historic water tower. Zosha is offered a public performance of new work in the Tower View Barn.
