Eric Pickford wins competition
One of our Young Organist Members, ERIC PICKFORD, a senior at the College of Charleston studying under Julia Harlow, was recently selected as one of four recipient groups for the AGO Student Commissioning Project Grants. The grants are “awarded to four collaborative composer-and-organist pairs for the composition and performance of new works for the organ.” Eric Pickford applied as composer and is collaborating with Carson Hayes, a graduate organist at UNC. Together, they will be composing and premiering a new composition for organ inspired by the narrative of the Nine Lessons and Carols.
