The Pulitzer Prizes
Tyshawn Sorey Wins 2024 Pulitzer Prize in Music

Congratulations to Tyshawn Sorey, who has just been named the winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize in Music for his work 'Adagio (for Wadada Leo Smith)'! This announcement is particularly exciting for us here at New Music USA because 'Adagio (for Wadada Leo Smith)' was commissioned through our Amplifying Voices program, which fosters collaboration and collective action between US orchestras and composers toward racial and gender equity in classical music through a network of co-commissions. This commission was made possible with support from the Sphinx Venture Fund, ASCAP, and the Wise Music Charitable Foundation.
