** Special Announcement for Potential Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition Composers and Sponsors
We are behind our normal schedule for getting out the information for the next Grawemeyer Award cycle (2011). This is due in part to the recent catastrophic flooding on the University of Louisville campus. Many buildings and offices are still closed, and will be for weeks to come, and much University business is delayed, especially matters not directly related to the start of fall classes. This obviously has taken priority. We hope to have the information up on the website by the end of September or early October, with paper copies going out to the institutions on our mailing list shortly thereafter.
