"I am beyond excited to have joined the Wild Shore team earlier this fall! This past summer I had the experience of a lifetime attending the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival and participating in the "Composing in the Wilderness" course, where 9 composers get to do backcountry hiking through Denali and the Yukon Charlie Rivers National Parks then write a piece based on our experiences. I've always had a love of the great outdoors, but never have had the opportunity to combine my love nature with my love of music. When Katie, Andie and Conrad approached me about joining the Wild Shore team I immediately agreed! To be able to share new music in any capacity is a gift, but an even rarer one is to share it with the most isolated and farthest reaching edges of where many commonly perceive it to reach. I hope to help spread new music as far and wide as possible, and for me it's even more satisfying to be so connected with nature while I do so! Can't wait to see where we go next!" - Shelley Washington , Wild Shore Program Associate
