Just in: NY Phil picks three composers for big bucks prize

press release:
The Marie-Josée Kravis Prize for New Music at the New York Philharmonic has been awarded to American composers David Lang and Missy Mazzoli*. One of the world’s largest new-music prizes, the Kravis Prize includes $200,000 and a commission for a work that the New York Philharmonic will premiere. Lang’s new work will be premiered in the 2025–26 season, and Mazzoli’s will be premiered in 2026–27.

Additionally, the NY Phil has named Kate Soper the Kravis Emerging Composer, an honor bestowed as part of The Marie-Josée Kravis Prize for New Music. Soper receives a $50,000 stipend, including a commission to compose a work that the Philharmonic will premiere in May 2025.

With the decline of the Grawemeyer, the Kravis may now be the world’s biggest prize for a living composer.
