Alex Freeman, Assistant Professor of Music, in conjunction with American Contemporary Music Ensemble (ACME), a New York-based ensemble, received an Encore grant from the American Composers Forum for his composition, Blueshift. Encore grants are given jointly to performers of contemporary music and composers to defray expenses associated with performances of a particular work, to offset travel expenses for composers, and to encourage repeat performances. Blueshift will be included in ACME’s 2010-2011 season in and around New York City.
