  • No Place like Rome

    Two lucky composers are chosen each year as winners of the prestigious Rome Prize, which provides a residency at the American Academy of Rome and an award valued at $60,000. Today, a conversation with the 2004 winners: New York composers Steven Burke and Harold Meltzer. Now in its 108th year, the Rome Prize is awarded annually through an open competition that is juried by leading artists and scholars in the different fields. We then turn our attention to this year’s Music at the Anthology festival (MATA), which is fast becoming one of New York’s premiere showcases for hot young composers in their 20s and 30s. Frank J. Oteri, editor of the Web magazine NewMusicBox.org, joins us to preview the festival’s main events, which begin tonight and run through Saturday.
