I know, in some form or another, at least two Grammy award winners this year: Osvaldo Golijov (who, in name only, teaches at BU and gave a Composer's Forum lecture) and John McLaughlin Williams (who taught violin at Luzerne and coached me a lot when I was rehearsing a chamber group on a piece of mine).
Good job Osvaldo!
Good job John!
