Soovin Kim and Sinta Quartet premiere "Meditation" at Chamber Music Northwest

“We are personally delighted that this year’s Stoeger jury has selected Chris Rogerson as the 2022 recipient of the prize,” said CMS Artistic Directors Wu Han and David Finckel. “Chris’s music embodies all that we look for in the works of today’s chamber music composers: genuine inspiration; knowledgeable and skillful instrumental writing; a combination of immediate appeal and intriguing challenge which invites further hearings; and very importantly, a true sense of the very nature of chamber music as an art form of dialogue between equals. In addition, Chris has proven to be very much a ‘performer’s composer’ in that so many fine players have asked for works from him. Their advocacy and passion, combined with new music of real quality, is what truly drives our art form forward.”

In late June 2022, Anne-Marie McDermott and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra premiered "Samaa'", a new piano concerto commissioned by Bravo! Vail to commemorate Anne-Marie's 10 years as Artistic Director of the organization.
