ASCAP Honored Four Choral Ensembles for adventurous programming during the 2004-05 concert season at the Chorus America Annual Conference held June 1-4 at the Chicago Hilton in Chicago, Illionois. The Awards, offered annually to constituent members of Chorus America, are presented in appreciation for performances of music written within the past twenty-five years.
In presenting the Adventurous Programming Awards, ASCAP Board Member and Co-Chair of the Symphony and Concert Committee, Stephen Paulus, commented: "2005 marks the thirteenth year ASCAP has presented awards to members of Chorus America whose programs in the past season prominently featured works written within the past twenty five years. ASCAP members know that when their music is selected and programmed by members of Chorus America, dedicated musicians, will prepare, rehearse and perform their work with conviction. No composer can ask for anything more."
