CCM Professor of Composition Joel Hoffman
CCM Professor of Composition Joel Hoffman was one of ten composers selected for a coveted, all-expenses-paid residency at Aaron Copland’s National Historic Landmark house in New York’s lower Hudson Valley. Copland House Artistic and Executive Director Michael Boriskin announced the winners of the 2011-12 Aaron Copland Awards, chosen from 90 applicants in 23 states. This year’s eminent jury consisted of composers Steven Stucky and Robert Beaser and violinist Curtis Macomber.
Our congratulations to Edward Neeman, a first year Artist Diploma student from Australia, who recently was awarded second prize in the Southern Highland International Piano Competition in Canberra, Australia.
