Episode 5
Donald Macleod is joined by Cheryl Young, who explains the relationship between sponsorship and an artistic residency programme.
By the time Leonard Bernstein came to stay at the MacDowell Colony he was a well established composer. As Copland had been before him, he proved to be an important advocate for several other Colony Fellows including Lukas Foss.
As part of its centenary celebrations in 2007, Cheryl Young, the Executive Director of The MacDowell Colony shares her thoughts on the relationship between sponsorship and an artistic residency programme and explains how the Colony is influencing and encouraging other creative initiatives around the world.
