Hop Commissions

For artists, commissioning and incubating new works means that they can bring their vision to life, bring on board new collaborators, and devote time to artistic and technical development. For us—at the Hop, at Dartmouth and in our wider community—it means we are often the first to witness these new creations, that we can engage directly with the artists and even become part of their creative process throughout its development.

Resident Ensembles

Eight dynamic performing groups, led by superb professional artists, offer Dartmouth students the chance to work with outstanding professionals in choral music, jazz, gospel, pop, symphonic music, wind band music and contemporary dance.

The Ritual of Breath

An offering. An opera in seven movements. A call for justice.
