音乐作曲副教授约塔姆·哈伯(Yotam Haber)获得了1.5万美元的佣金,为卡尔和尼斯二人组创作一首新作品。
Haber’s commission is through Chamber Music America’s (CMA) Classical Commissioning program, which supports U.S.-based composers and ensembles who perform classical and contemporary music. 该项目提供的赠款支持美国作曲家创作和演奏新作品。
“The CMA’s Classical Commissioning program is prestigious and extremely competitive,” said Haber. “Receiving a grant from CMA is deeply coveted and I’m incredibly honored to have gotten one to write for the Kahl & Nyce Duo, two magnificent artists.”
Haber’s commission will support his work composing a large-scale piece of music for saxophone, piano and electronics. This work will expand on ideas he first explored in “电阻,” a trumpet piece he wrote for Don-Paul Kahl of the Kahl & Nyce Duo.
“This recognition demonstrates how highly regarded Yotam is as a composer and our students benefit greatly from his knowledge as a professor,” said 音乐学院 dean Courtney Crappell. “We’re excited to see what he creates with this significant new commission.”
Haber过去曾获得多个著名奖项,包括2021年美国艺术与文学学院本杰明·丹克斯奖,2017年美国国会图书馆库塞维茨基委员会奖,2013年Fromm音乐基金会委员会奖,2013年纽约艺术学院奖,2008年罗马奖和2005年约翰·西蒙·古根海姆纪念基金会奖学金。
