Please join us on Monday, April 25 as we announce the 2022–23 Rome Prize winners and Italian Fellows at the Arthur and Janet C. Ross Rome Prize Ceremony, taking place in the Great Hall at Cooper Union in New York.

The program will feature a Conversations/Conversazioni with the acclaimed composer David Lang (1991 Fellow, 2017 Resident) and AAR President Mark Robbins (1997 Fellow). In addition, one of Lang’s compositions will be performed live.

In 1987 Lang cofounded Bang on a Can, a collaborative group of international musicians and composers dedicated to new and innovative music, with Julia Wolfe and Michael Gordon. The three remain artistic directors of the collective, which is based in New York.

The ceremony, conversation, and performance are free and open to the public.

The Helen Frankenthaler Foundation is the 2021–22 season sponsor of Conversations/Conversazioni: From the American Academy in Rome.
