The Grawemeyer Award was announced last night.

The winner is Bent Sorensen.

He takes home $100,000.

It so happens that Sorensen, 59, has a piece being premiered on Thursday by the New York Philharmonic. No-one in NY media seems to have noticed.

The award-winning piece is called ‘L’isola della Città’ – Island in the City.
