Distinguished American composer, Joan Tower, has agreed to compose the
Andrew Gurwitz memorial composition for the 2009 piano competition. Hailed
as "one of the most successful woman composers of all time" in The New
Yorker magazine, Joan Tower was the first woman to receive the Grawemeyer
Award in Composition in 1990.

As part of the Ford Foundation's Made in America Series, Tower's 15-minute
orchestral piece Made in America went on to performances in every state in
the Union during the 2005-07 seasons. The Nashville Symphony and conductor
Leonard Slatkin recorded Made in America, Tambor, and Concerto for Orchestra
for the Naxos label, and that top-selling recording won three 2008 Grammy
awards: Best Classical Contemporary Composition, Best Classical Album, and
Best Orchestral Performance.
