 Alumni News
Cody Forrest M.M. '12 is pursuing a doctorate at the New England Conservatory. Exciting opportunities have surfaced in Cody's first year at NEC. He was selected to participate in a master class with acclaimed composer and conductor Oliver Knussen. They reviewed Cody's piece "Savage Light-Celestial", which was composed for the Syracuse University Contemporary Music Ensemble; it proved to be an enriching experience. He also won a competition within the NEC composition department to have a piece of his played by a competitively selected honors chamber ensemble. An excerpt of his piece "Book of Prayers" (2011) was selected to be performed by the Spruce Quartet - a string quartet coached by Roger Tapping. Cody anticipates one and a half years more of coursework before embarking on his dissertation, which will take the form of a large-scale work. |

 Student Spotlight

Thirty-five students are selected annually to commemorate the 35 Syracuse University students lost in the Pan Am 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland. Selection is a great honor.
