The Score | Fisher Career Grants Awarded March 22

A cellist, a pianist, and three violinists were honored with Avery Fisher Career Grants at a March 22 ceremony in New York’s Jerome L. Greene Performance Space. Recipients of the $25,000 award, each of whom performed at the event, were cellist Jay Campbell, pianist George Li, and violinists Alexi Kenney, Tessa Lark, and Sean Lee. The annual career grants, established by the Avery Fisher Artist Program in 1976, provide recognition and professional assistance to young instrumentalists and chamber ensembles deemed to have great potential for major careers. This year’s ceremony was recorded by New York classical station WQXR for live webstream and radio broadcast, with replays scheduled for April 30 and May 4.
