The Canadian Music Centre has announced that Stephen Chatman, a professor and head of composition at UBC School of Music, has been given the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) Jan V. Matajcek Classical Music Award.
The Award recognizes Chatman’s success as a composer of choral, orchestral, and piano compositions and comes after being awarded the Outstanding Classical Composition Award at the 2010 Western Canadian Music Award for his recording of “Earth Songs,” his third such win in five years.
