My Desert, My Rose

Grawemeyer!
I am so very grateful to receive this amazing international heritage award!
I cheer to my collaborators Kronos Quartet for commissioning and performing Missa Supratext, to San Francisco Girls’ Chorus with Valerie Sainte-Agathe and David Coulter improvising on a musical saw for the exuberant, fearless spirit they brought to the winning work.
This highest honor comes with a sense of wonder - deeply connected to San Francisco, my personal port to the New World where my most fulfilling creative relationships began many years ago and blossomed ever since.
And I thank ALL OF YOU for sending so much love!

An SFCM graduate has won a major composition award.
