| ASCAP Foundation VP/Executive Director Karen Sherry speaks about the Foundation's achievements in its 30 year history. |
Looking out over Central Park, the newly designed Columbus Circle and the East Side of Manhattan, Jazz at Lincoln Center's Allen Room is one of the most stunning and prestigious music halls to emerge in New York City in years. It was here that The ASCAP Foundation celebrated its 30th Anniversary and presented its 10th Annual ASCAP Foundation Awards Ceremony and Reception. Honors were presented to a wide variety of Award, Scholarship and Fellowship recipients. Highlights of the evening included some special live performances. In celebration of Billy Joel's illustrious career, singer-songwriter Johnny Rodgers performed selections from the superstar's pop catalogue, and pianist Molly Morkowski played two movements from Joel's Opus 1-10: Fantasies & Delusions: Music For Solo Piano. Award recipient and singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins performed an original work as did Young Jazz Composer honoree Sherisse Rogers. |
