A famed American composer has died
RIPThe death was recorded today of David Del Tredici, an Aaron Copland protege who scored global success with a series of works on Alice in Wonderland. Del Tredici was 86 years old.
His first major commission was from the Concertgebouw but most of his work centred on US orchestras and audiences. He taught at Harvard and Yale, won a Pulitzer Prize, was composer in residence with the NY Philharmonic and focussed part of his work on the shifting experience of gay life in America.
