Gregg Wramage

Widely recognized as one of the leading composers of his generation, Gregg Wramage received the 2007 Copland House Sylvia Goldstein Award for his recent orchestral work, “La tristesse durera”. Millennium Symphony will record “La tristesse durera” for release in September 2008 on the first volume of ERM Media's "Made in the Americas" CD series.

The 2007-08 season features the premieres of Mr. Wramage's first opera, and his first symphony. Death in Summer, a two-act chamber opera with the renowned British librettist, Paul Bentley, based on the novel by the internationally acclaimed Irish writer, William Trevor, received two New York performances. American Opera Projects premiered the first five scenes in October 2007, and a fully-staged performance of the first seven scenes was given by Manhattan School of Music and American Opera Projects in March. Mr. Wramage's first symphony will be premiered in New York in June, by North/South Consonance Chamber Orchestra.
