Yaddo Composers Triumph

Michael Tilson Thomas

Los Angeles, California (March 15, 2007) - Congratulations to the San Francisco Symphony and its Music Director, Yaddo composer Michael Tilson Thomas, who won Best Classical Album and Best Orchestral Performance honors at the 2007 Grammy Awards for their live concert recording of Mahler’s 7th Symphony.

As if that didn’t do Yaddo proud enough, works by two other Yaddo composers, "Paul Revere’s Ride" by David Del Tredici and "Lamentation" by Leonard Bernstein, were among the recordings noted as part of Elaine Martone’s Classical Producer of the Year Grammy win.
