Oliver is in residence at the Ragdale Foundation April 21 through May 9. Situated on the historic estate of architect Howard Van Doren Shaw and poet Frances Wells Shaw, the foundation provides artists with uninterrupted time for work and creativity.

During his stay, Oliver is working on two chamber works: Prayer for Peace (violin and piano), to be premiered by Juventas in June; and a new sextet, to be premiered in Vermont this July.
