Violinist wins $10k critics’ prize
mainThe 2018 Stephen and Cynthia Rubin Institute for Music Criticism has been awarded to Jennifer Gersten, a violinist and doctoral candidate at Stony Brook University.
Anne Midgette, one of the judges, said: ‘Jennifer’s reviews were filled with trenchant observations, wit, and authority. More to the point, they were so well written–whether describing a jazz singer’s costume so vividly you felt you were in the room with her, or dryly dismissing a new work as ‘John Williams without the melodies’–that they were always a pleasure to read.’
