Seven faculty members receive ASCAP awards

The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) has given cash awards to seven Yale faculty members.

They are: School of Music professors Ezra Laderman and Frank Tirro, and adjunct professor Martin Bresnick; department of music assistant professors Kathryn J. Alexander and John G. Halle; Jack Vees, operations director at the Center for Studies in Music Technology, School of Music; and Evan Ziporyn, lecturer in composition.

Award recipients are chosen by an independent panel on the basis of "the unique prestige value of each writer's catalog of original compositions as well as recent performances of those works in areas not surveyed by the society."
