Bent Sorensen Wins BASCA Award
Danish composer Bent Sorensen’s piano concerto, La Mattina, was presented with a 2011 British Composer Award sponsored by BASCA (British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors), which recognizes contemporary classical music showing “flair, originality and the power of communication.” La Mattina, which was written for Leif Ove by Mr. Sorensen, will receive its West Coast premiere during the Festival’s June 9 evening concert.
