Ken Field was granted a Composer in Residence fellowship in October at the Ucross Foundation in Wyoming. He was music curator for the Celebrity Series of Boston’s “Jazz Along the Charles” event in September, in which 25 jazz ensembles simultaneously performed two sets of Boston-related music along the banks of the Charles River. In March 2019 the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston will present a program of the animation of his late wife Karen Aqua (RISD ’76) with live soundtracks composed, arranged, and performed by Ken with an ensemble of four alto saxophones and drums. He also cocurates the Boiler House Jazz Series at the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation in Waltham, Mass.; hosts The New Edge weekly radio program of creative instrumental music on WMBR-FM; and leads his New Orleans-influenced improvisational brass band, the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble.
