Cellist Zlatomir Fung has been named to WXQR's Artist Propulsion Lab, an innovative program designed to support classical music artists in the creation of original work and in connecting with new audiences. 

According to WQXR, "as part of the APL, five new artists – Zlatomir Fung, Briana Hunter, Alexi Kenney, Curtis Stewart, and Shelley Washington – will be given the space and support to create new work and to share their diverse perspectives and projects with radio, digital, and in-person audiences. Each artist is committed to expanding conventional ideas about Western classical music and making the artform more relevant to a new generation of listeners."
