Musical America is honoring Louis Andriessen as their 2010 Composer of the Year. Seems a fitting tribute in his seventieth birthday year.
That said, there’s been much activity in the contemporary classical arena in 2009. Who would the Sequenza 21 community like to see getting lauded for their achievements? The comments section is open for nominations.
Okay, I’ll suggest David Lang. Little Matchgirl Passion and the Untitled soundtrack in the same year: quite something!
You know what I like about Sequenza21? Louis Andriessen and Elliot Carter on the same page. That’s pretty cool.
