In other news, Bay Area composer John Adams was recently awarded $100,000 by Northwestern University for winning the Michael Ludwig Nemmers Prize in Musical Composition. Adams is one of the most popular contemporary composers, with a diverse output of compositions that have been performed by many of the largest and most powerful organizations. His work On the Transmigration of Souls, composed for the New York Philharmonic, earned him a Pulitzer Prize in 2003. Adams received international attention from his two operas, Nixon in China and The Death of Klinghoffer, and he is also well known for his long-term association with the San Francisco Symphony, a relationship resulting in works such as Harmonielehre and Harmonium. As part of his new award, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra will perform a work by Adams and he will spend four weeks working with students on the Northwestern University campus.
