GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT
Arone Dyer
Arone Dyer is a musician, composer & founding member of duos Buke and Gase, and Mistresses. Dyer used her grant “to further develop my craft, expand my songwriting and musical education to encompass composition for chamber orchestra. Orchestral composition is a skill I’ve wanted to learn for years, and my orchestral album recording project, which felt like an impossibility in the depths of 2020’s quarantine, is now in full swing, thanks to this grant.”
