Mumford Awarded National Symphony Orchestra Commission
Two members of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music faculty were awarded Individual Artist (IA) Fellowships from the Ohio Arts Council (OAC) for 2002.
Assistant Professor of Composition Jeffrey Mumfordwas awarded a $10,000 IA fellowship. Professor of Composition and Music Theory Randolph Coleman, who also serves as chair of Oberlin’s Contemporary Music Division, received a $5,000 IA fellowship.
Mumford’s grant will go toward the production of a new CD recording of his works for Albany Records that will feature the Corigliano Quartet, pianist Margaret Kampmeier, violist Wendy Richman ’01, and the CORE Ensemble. Mumford’s wife, the artist Donna Coleman, also an IA fellowship recipient this year, will design the CD’s cover art.
"It's very gratifying, after moving my family and my life to Ohio, to have my work recognized and appreciated by the arts council," says Mumford. "It’s heartwarming to me that my work was found to have contributed in some way to the cultural environment here."
This year the OAC awarded 84 IA fellowships of $5,000 or $10,000 to artists of exceptional talent.
In the College of Arts and Sciences, Assistant Profesor of Studio Art Rian Brown-Orso and Professor of Dance Nusha Martynuk also received IA Fellowships; Associate Professor of Anthropology Linda Grimm received a technical assistance grant.
