You
may be familiar with the composer Carter Pann if you’ve heard his piece “The Cheese Grater” on 90.9. This piece is a fun two-step for piano, inspired by the
frequent accidents Carter has experienced with this utensil in the kitchen!
Pann
is a composer and pianist based out of the University of Colorado Boulder. His
many awards and recognitions include two Grammy nominations and a 2016 Pulitzer
Prize Finalist in Music. He has worked with musicians around the world and
major ensembles including the London Symphony, the City of Birmingham Symphony,
and the Seattle Symphony. His work includes music for voice, chamber groups,
orchestra, and wind ensembles.
