From 7-9 April, the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra (PA) performs Richard Danielpour’s Adagietto and honors him with its Composer’s Award, the oldest symphonic award in the country. Previous G. Schirmer/AMP recipients include: Stephen Albert, John Corigliano, Henry Cowell, Paul Creston, Norman Dello Joio, David Diamond, Morton Gould, John Harbison, Alan Hovhaness, Ulysses Kay, Aaron Jay Kernis, Gian Carlo Menotti, Walter Piston, Gunther Schuller, William Schuman, Virgil Thomson, and Joan Tower.
Afterwards, Danielpour heads south to Charlotte for Opera Carolina’s production of Margaret Garner, a remarkable fourth production since the opera’s premiere less than a year ago.
