Nick Sullivan, The Daily Gamecock

Grammy Award-winning composer Gabriela Lena Frank has come to USC, and she brought several protégés with her.

Seven composers from Cycle Six of the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music will debut their compositions Friday, Dec. 7 at 4:30 p.m. in the School of Music Recital Hall. This event follows a Wednesday concert, during which Frank’s music was performed by USC students and faculty. 

“The concert Friday will feature new works by me and the other Composer Fellows,” said Timothy Peterson, one of the GLFCAM composers, in an email. “Our works are all written for Duo Cortona: mezzo-soprano Rachel Calloway and violinist Ari Streisfeld, wonderful pioneers of contemporary music and professors at the University of South Carolina School of Music.”
