The Hermitage Artist Retreat continued its partnership with the Aspen Music Festival and School (AMFS) in Aspen, Colo., and awarded this year’s Hermitage Prize to up-and-coming composer Phillip Sink during the festival’s composers’ showcase.
First awarded in 2013, the prize is given to a promising composer who is enrolled as a composition student at the AMFS. Selected by a jury of contemporary composers and administration at the AMFS, Sink will receive a six-week residency at the Hermitage’s campus in Englewood, Fla., as well as a $1,000 prize.
