Romig and Mack have participated in artist-in-residence programs at the Petrified Forest National Park, Grand Canyon National Park and Wupatki National Monument. In December, Romig and Mack will travel to Everglades National Park. Romig will work on a concerto for piano and orchestra that Mack will perform with the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony in 2018.
