Five at SFA receive ASCAP Awards
Five School for the Arts faculty members recently
received grants from the American Society of Composers,
Authors, & Publishers.
The 1999-2000 ASCAP award recipients are Martin Amlin, associate professor of music; Theodore Antoniou, professor of music; Charles Fussell, associate professor of theory and composition; Samuel Headrick, assistant professor of music; and Carlyle Sharpe, assistant professor of music, theory, and composition.
The cash awards, intended to assist and encourage writers of serious music, are based on each writer's catalogue of original compositions as well as recent performances of those works. This year's award is a first for Sharpe, whose works have been performed throughout the United States and in Canada, Korea, Australia, and Brazil. Amlin and Antoniou each have received ASCAP grants for the last 17 consecutive years, Fussell for 16 years, and Headrick, 14 years.
