The American Prize is pleased to announce 2014 FINALIST conductors in the choral divisions. Congratulations! All finalists receive written
evaluations from a member of The American Prize judging panel.
David Katz, chief judge of the competitions, writes:
"Never
in the five year history of The American Prize, to my recollection, has
such a large percentage of semi-finalists in the choral conducting and
ensemble categories been advanced to the final round. Even accounting
for differences in the size, make-up, location and repertoire of the
groups these conductors lead, there is excellence here, albeit of
different kinds, deserving of finalist status, additional scrutiny and
further evaluation.
However much the media
may try to tell us that classical music is "dead," it is clear that is
simply incorrect. If this year's finalists for The American Prize are
any indication, the choral art is thriving all over the county, worthy
of our attention and our support. Bravi, tutti."
To know the exact date when WINNERS, runners-up and any citation recipients will be
announced next month, please like our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter #AmericanPrize, where that information will be published first.
