Caroline Shaw just won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for music, the youngest composer ever to do so. Turns out that Shaw is a friend of Son Lux (whose remarkable remix work you may have heard, and which I will have to feature sometime in this blog). It was his newsletter that brought her to my attention. Check out the fourth movement of Partita for 8 Voices composed by the 30-year-old Shaw, who doesn't even think of herself as a composer!
Learn more about Shaw and her gorgeous music at her website.
You can also find Shaw's music on the New Amsterdam label, a site rife with good stuff from a variety of composers (you can find Nico Muhly there, for example) you may not have heard yet.
