According to the Los Angeles Times, composer Eve Beglarian "is a humane, idealistic rebel and a musical sensualist.”
Her current projects include a solo piano piece about Emily Dickinson responding to Ives’ Concord Sonata for the pianist Donald Berman; a project about Native-Settler relations growing from her replication by bicycle of an exploratory trip of the Great Lakes made by Henry Schoolcraft in 1820; and a piece for 24 basses in a grove of trees composed for Robert Black and friends. Since 2001, she has been creating A Book of Days, which the LA Times called "a grand and gradually manifesting work in progress...an eclectic and wide-open series of enticements.”
At MacDowell, Beglarian set several poems by Bill Knott (MF 7x 69-79) for a song cycle to be premiered by Music from the Copland House in 2024. She also continued work on a performance project based on Guillaume de Machaut's Voir Dit, parts of which will be presented in New York in March 2024.
