"We want the 75th anniversary celebration," notes School of Music Dean Christopher Doane, "to reflect not only the local influence the School of Music has had on the culture of this community, but also to illustrate the national and international involvement it has had and will have."
Grawemeyer-winning composers on the concert include: Witold Lutoslawski, Karel Husa, Joan Tower, John Corigliano, and Aaron Jay Kernis. The following day, a symposium and concert take place at Lincoln Center's New York City Public Library for the Performing Arts. Washington Post music critic Tim Page moderates a panel discussion which includes composers Corigliano, Husa, Kernis, Tower, and the 2007 recipient.
