In the latest edition of Festival Day in the Branding, Trevor Grahl, involved as a teacher in the Sonology and Composition departments, has received the Willem Pijper Prize for his work Music for Malmö (2019) for solo organ and electronics.
Trevor: 'It is a nice recognition. For me, composing is the art of doubting and such an award is the recognition that you have the right doubts and are on the right track.'
On a highly exceptional note, this year's prize was awarded to two laureates. Cecilia Arditto Delsoglio will also receive the prize for her orchestral work Tissue.
The Festival Dag in de Branding website features an interview with both laureates.
