Fingers pointed as youth orchestra wins a coveted Grammy
NewsThere were furrowed brows and much muttering when Michael Repper and the New York Youth Symphony were shortlisted weeks ago for an orchestral Grammy, ahead of most of America’s finest professional orchestras.
Last night, the youth orchestra won – for a recording of works by Florence Price, Valerie Coleman and Jessie Montgomery.
Members of the orchestra are aged 12 to 20. Questions are being asked about what appears to be an astonshingly professional campaign to whip up the votes.
