Brooklyn, NY, December 31, 1962) is one of the most performed living American composers working today. Her list of commissioners range from the Cleveland Orchestra to the Philadelphia Orchestra; from eighth blackbird to the Tokyo String Quartet; and from The President&#8217;s Own Marine Band to such artists as Hilary Hahn. Higdon received the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in Music for her <em>Violin Concerto<\/em>, with the committee citing Higdon&#8217;s work as a &#8220;deeply engaging piece that combines flowing lyricism with dazzling virtuosity.&#8221; She has also received awards from the Serge Koussevitzky Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, the American Academy of Arts &amp; Letters (two awards), the Pew Fellowship in the Arts, Meet-the-Composer, the National Endowment for the Arts, and ASCAP. In January, 2010, Higdon received a GRAMMY for <em>Best Contemporary Classical Composition<\/em> for her <em>Percussion Concerto<\/em>.
