This morning NewMusicBox.org reported the ASCAP Orchestra Awards for Adventurous Programming. You can read the press release here.
On this note, props to my high school alma mater, the Orange County High School of the Arts (OCHSA) for winning both the Award for American Programming on Foreign Tours and the First Place Award for Programming of Contemporary Music (Youth Orchestras).
Congrats, Mr. Russell!! (Note: If you go to the OCHSA website I linked, you will see the back of Mr. Russell's head. Just in case you're wondering.)
