Miller received his award — a crystal apple from Tiffany's — during NYSTA’s banquet, held April 20 at New York's Le Parker Meridien Hotel. The following day he presented a master class, Key Issues in the Training of Male Singers. "We recognize Richard Miller as being a very special pedagogue in the world," says Thomas Cultice, chairman of the symposium.
