2002 CONCERT MUSIC AWARDS
Honorees Include Winners of
the 2002 ASCAP Foundation Morton Gould Young Composer
Awards
The third annual ASCAP Concert Music Awards
were presented at a ceremony and reception at
New York's Lincoln Center. The event, hosted by
ASCAP composer member, performer and radio host
Peter Schickele, was held at the Walter Reade
Theater at Lincoln Center in New York. In addition
to the 2002 ASCAP Foundation Morton Gould Young
Composer winners, honorees included: Gerard Schwarz,
Music Director of the Seattle Symphony and the
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and a champion of
American composers and the music of our time;
Henry Brant, 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Composition;
Bright Sheng, 2001 MacArthur Fellowship; Justin
Davidson (ASCAP Concert Composer) 2002 Pulitzer
Prize for Criticism; Peter Schickele, composer,
educator, humorist, performer and radio personality;
and The American Composers Orchestra for its 25
Years of service to American Concert music.
A highlight of the event was the recognition
of the twenty-nine ASCAP Foundation Morton Gould
Young Composer Award recipients. The ASCAP Foundation
program honors the late ASCAP and ASCAP Foundation
President Morton Gould's lifelong commitment to
encouraging young creators. The winning composers
share prizes of over $30,000, including the Leo
Kaplan Award, honoring the distinguished jurist
who served for twenty-eight years as ASCAP Special
Distribution Advisor. The six ASCAP composer/judges
for the 2002 competition were: Samuel Adler, Eve
Beglarian, Chen Yi, Donald Freund, Roberto Sierra
and Chris Theofanidis.
