Artist Residencies
Richard Boukas has presented educator residencies at universities, seminars and festivals throughout the U.S., Canada and Brazil.
As many of today's music institutions are multi-disciplinary, Boukas's extensive experience in Brazilian, Jazz and Classical contemporary music qualifies him to present highly innovative residencies that transcend stylistic boundaries– equipping students with universal tools to create and understand music– through a dynamic integration of intuitive, sonic, technical, theoretical and expressive dimensions.
