Somali Radio Stations Halt Music

This is one of the saddest and most infuriating things I've ever heard.

How can this happen in the 21st century? How can human beings be so unenlightened?

Though this is not an Atlanta story, it should give us all pause. We should be grateful that we can listen to music, much less compose it. We'd probably be killed for that in Somalia. Freakin' bastards.

Jennifer Higdon wins the Pulitzer (and a Grammy!)

Jennifer Higdon won the Pulitzer Prize for Music on Monday. A few months ago, she won a Grammy. Jennifer lived here till she was 10, so I think that qualifies her as an Atlanta Composer. ;) She's also been commissioned by the Atlanta Symphony and is premiering a new work here with eighth blackbird in June.

Mark Gresham wrote a piece on her a while back. I think it was for her 'Atlanta' piece, City Scapes. (Mark, do you want to post a link to that?)

Congratulations, Jennifer!
