Pappalardo Composition Award

Each year, Radius Ensemble commissions a Longy student composer as part of our residency at the Longy School of Music of Bard College.  This program is made possible by Jane and Neil Pappalardo.

The Pappalardo Composition Award was created to give composition students the opportunity to hear their music performed by professional musicians.  Finalists, as selected by Longy composition faculty, receive a 30 minute workshop.  The recipient, chosen by Radius Ensemble, earns a performance on a Radius subscription series concert.
