Wiemann Gets Creative at Hambidge

University of Maine Professor of Music Beth Wiemann is a fellow in the Hambidge Creative Residency Program in Dillard, Ga., where she is working on a piece tentatively titled “Before the Snow” for the Vermont Symphony Orchestra’s fall 2014 tour.

Residencies at Hambidge, situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, are awarded by juried panels for two to eight weeks.

Wiemann, who grew up in Burlington, Vt., teaches composition and clarinet and is chair of the Music Division of the School of Performing Arts at UMaine. She is on professional sabbatical.
