For 10 days, the 12 instrumentalists and 4 composers selected will work intensely with Akropolis: living, rehearsing, and creating together as an artistic collective. ⁠

The 4 composers will each have a world premiere given by the collective during the festival, in addition to writing a new reed quintet work that Akropolis will premiere during their 23/24 touring season.⁠

🎉CONGRATULATUONS Matt and Kari on their new baby boy, Theo Emile Landry! 👏

#repost
・・・
Matt & I welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Theo Emile Landry, into the world 1 week ago today on May 2, 2023 at 1 pm. 💛

Theo was born at our house in Northville, MI, 🏡 and thanks to Celeste and the team at @gentlemamaholisticmidwifery, we had a beautiful and natural water birth in the heart of our home. At 8 lbs & 20” long, we’re overjoyed he’s so happy and healthy and that I had such a quick and smooth labor.

Words can’t express the joy, love, and gratitude we feel for Theo and for going through this experience together. Birth is truly a portal to another world and I’ll never forget just how connected it made me feel to the universe and my baby boy.

It’s also so surreal I was performing just 3 days before his birth with @akropolis5tet. I’m endlessly grateful I was able to keep doing so much right up to the finish line, and thankful to have this time at home over next few months with our new family.

We love you so much, sweet Theo.❤️ Welcome to the world!

👏Such a memorable & meaningful experience with
