ENSEMBLE MEDUSE
The mandate of Ensemble Meduse is to create and perform collaborative, inter-disciplinary projects that broaden the audience’s experience of live music, while also expanding the performers’ range of communication on stage. The pieces are meant to be watched and listened equally. Meduse is Maria Gacesa, clarinettist; Kate Read, violist; and Yesim Tosuner, visual artist.

Sarah Jerrom – Magpie
MAGPIE
music and story by Sarah Jerrom
video design by Yesim Tosuner
Magpie is a tale of loss, love and transformation. Having just experienced pregnancy loss, the main character, Woman/Magpie, sets out on a journey during a particularly difficult day. The journey takes place in fairy tale-like settings and she meets mythical characters who help her face her grief and fears.
Videos become a part of the story telling of Magpie during the live performance. Sometimes they introduce the locations and mythical characters and sometimes they run on a loop to visually and quietly support the key moments in the music.

Logo design for Next Jazz Legacy, a new apprenticeship program for women and non-binary improvisers in jazz. Chaired by Terri Lyne Carrington, the program was launched in 2021 by New Music USA and the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice.
The dotted circle evokes a sense of passage of time while the unfinished shape implies openness and room to grow into a different/better future.
