Clara Schumann is the subject of a new opera with music by Victoria Bond and libretto by Barbara Zinn Krieger. Bond has been awarded a stipendium from the Brahmshausgesellschaft and will spend the month of May 2010 in Baden-Baden Germany working on the music. Scenes from the opera will be presented on Cutting Edge Concerts New Music Festival 2010 in Symphony Space.

"The Indispensable Man" with script by Dr. Myles Lee will be scored for narrator and band.  Lee has crafted a dramatic and moving portrait of  Franklin Delano Roosevelt's using the President's own words.  Bond will be underscoring this text with music inspired by the big-band era.

"The Page Turner" is a humerous work that Bond is writing for pianist Kathleen Supove.  The work will be premiered during the 2009-2010 season.

Storyteller Bill Gordh and Bond are teaming up to write a treatment of one of the Brer Rabbit stories scored for banjo and small ensemble.
