Congratulations to Hannah Edgar (AB'18, Music), who was awarded the 2026 William Littler Prize for Music Criticism!🥳

The William Littler Prize for Music Criticism is awarded in recognition of excellence in writing by younger critics in the areas of concert music and opera. Edgar received the award for their review of a concert by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and pianist Yunchan Lim, which was published in the Chicago Tribune in December 2025.

"I originally joined Women’s Ensemble because of Mollie after taking her sight reading class; she brings so much joy to both this ensemble and UChorus (which I also joined during spring), and her energy is just infectious. In addition to that, I think the community is amazing; Mollie picks such a wide range of music (choir arrangements, folk music from different cultures, etc.) to sing, which I personally really enjoyed. Singing in different languages like Norweigan, Swedish, Chinese, Armenian, and Turkish, among others, made our choir very unique.

My favorite memory in Women’s Ensemble would probably be singing with the audience during concerts or the Songs of Comfort concert, which was really fun because we laid out blankets for the audience to sit down on for the performance. It was really nice to see the community dance and sing with us, and enjoy the music echoing around in Rockefeller Chapel!"

Congratulations to soprano Julia Luo, who graduated with a bachelor's in economics and data science!

You're invited! From June 12-13, UChicago will host the Caribbean Intensities in Music and Sound Symposium.

This two-day symposium and public humanities gathering brings together scholars, artists, and community-based cultural workers from across the Caribbean and the United States to explore “intensity” as both a sonic descriptor and an analytic for understanding how force is distributed, condensed, experienced, and felt through regional music and sound.

Registration is free, RSVP requested by June 8. View the full schedule and register at https://voices.uchicago.edu/caribbeansymposium/
