The Viano Quartet and Chris Rogerson (Composition '10) honored by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center

The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (CMS) has announced that nine individual artists and one ensemble, the Viano Quartet, the current Nina von Maltzahn String Quartet-in-Residence at Curtis, have been selected for the Bowers Program, a highly competitive three-season residency in which participants perform, tour, and teach alongside CMS artists. The Chamber Music Society also announced that Curtis musical studies faculty member Chris Rogerson (Composition ’10) was chosen as the winner of the Elise L. Stoeger Prize, an honor that recognizes significant contributions to the field of chamber music composition. The Bowers Program and Stoeger Prize reflect CMS’s ongoing support and development of chamber music artists and composers throughout their careers, on stage and off.

Congratulations to violinists Lucy Wang and Hao Zhou, violist Aiden Kane, cellist Tate Zawadiuk, and composer Chris Rogerson! Learn more about all the artists chosen for this year’s Bowers Program HERE, and read the official press release HERE.
