I will bring you more on the story as I have it.  Musical America has names it's slate of annual award winners, beginning with Artist of the Year. That award goes to pianist Daniil Trifonov (his latest album cover pictured here).
Other winners are: Conductor of the year: Carlos Miguel Prieto Composer of the year: Julia Wolfe Vocalist of the year: Anthony Roth Costanzo Ensemble of the year: Jack Quartet The orchestra of the Chicago Lyric Opera has gone on strike. Reports have it that contract negotiations were underway, but management wanted to cut positions from the orchestra, and shorten the season so as to reduce orchestra members' pay.
The Chicago Tribune has an article here.  Cellis Veronica Parrales was just named an Artist to Watch by Jackson Free Press magazine. A native of New York, she is now principal cellist with the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra. In addition she is a member of the MSO String Quartet which often plays in schools--as a former music teacher, Veronica has a special interest in outreach to children.
