"...to provide an environment that would enrich the synergistic and essential relationship between thought and performance, idea and artistry." - Artist-in-Residence Program mission
  

The Artist-in-Residence program at the Institute for Advanced Study was established in 1994 to create a musical presence within the Institute community, to have in residence a person whose work could be experienced and appreciated by scholars from all disciplines. 

In 2007, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Paul Moravec joined the Institute as its new Artist-in-Residence.  His inaugural season, Tradition Redefined, will explore the wide variety of aesthetic perspectives in art music, especially of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Moravec has composed more than 90 orchestral, chamber, choral, lyric, film, and electro-acoustic compositions.  In addition to directing the IAS concert series, he will be composing an opera for Santa Fe Opera as well as a new piece for the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
