Why I was at the Copland House: Beff was resident.
What I am holding: when Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center had its formal presentation to me of the Stoeger Prize, they handed me a giant faux check (the actual check had been sent and cashed months earlier). I think I still have it. Somewhere.
1) That giant check is badass.
ReplyDelete2) That prize - and the amount - also badass. Please tell me you did something fun like blow it on pickles.
Technically, it paid for the recording of my Piano Concerto.
