![](https://thty8p35tm9d6f9.onstatic.studio/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/American-Prize-website-logo-300x72.jpg)Fantastic! **Conductor Christopher Kelts** and I are both moving up the ranks for the “[American Prize ERNST BACON for the Performance of American Music](http://theamericanprize.blogspot.com/2018/04/finalists-ernst-bacon-award-for.html)“. We’ve made the list of Finalists! for my orchestral work, “[Tracing a Dream](https://thty8p35tm9d6f9.onstatic.studio/works-catalog/tracing-a-dream/).” (I applied as a Composer in the Professional division, and Chris Kelts applied in the College/University division for the [Missouri State University Symphony world premiere performance](https://youtu.be/2ePrHnXYePQ).)
