He is a participant in the 2005-2006 Artist in Residence Program at HERE Arts Center Dargel is also an accomplished new music vocalist. He has performed works by Eve Beglarian, Pauline Oliveros, Brenda Hutchinson, k. terumi shorb, Phil Kline, Nicholas Brooke, and Philip Glass; and has organized multiple performances of John Cage’s Songbooks featuring a variety of music and theater artists.
