Notes:

Earning widespread notice for his richly colored and superbly crafted scores, Pierre Jalbert (b. 1967) has developed a musical language that is engaging, expressive, and deeply personal. Among his many honors are the Rome Prize, the BBC Masterprize, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's 2007 Stoeger Award, given biennially “in recognition of significant contributions to the chamber music repertory,” and a 2010 Academy award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Recent orchestral performances include those by the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood, the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center, and the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra under Marin Alsop. Jalbert is Professor of Music at Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music in Houston, and he serves on the Artistic Board of Musiqa, a Houston-based new music group. His music is published by Schott Music.
