Well, here is the news for the day…Caroline Shaw won a G.R.A.M.M.Y. yesterday! Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance Category. Yup, no scam, just the facts ma’am! 
Here’s the link http://www.grammy.com/videos/56th-grammy-awards-pre-telecast-ceremony. Scan to 1 hour and 9 minutes into the show, and you will hear Cyndi Lauper introduce Caroline and Roomful of Teeth, followed by their performance. And at 1 hour 22 minutes 50 seconds, you will hear the award announced and see their acceptance! Caroline grew up right here in Greenville; her ecstatic parents are Jon and Bob, and her proud siblings are Robert, Steven, and Nancy (who was in LA 
and at the Grammy’s with her!). The grandest congratulations go out from Greenville and all of the world to Caroline and her Roomful of Teeth mates!

Let’s not forget that Caroline won the Pulitzer Prize for Music last April, making her the youngest composer to have won the award since its inception in 1943. Yessirree. This is no joke. Caroline Shaw is the real deal! Read all about it right here! Whoop Whoop!!

Creativity and Innovation. This is one art-filled Georgetown condo. There are a gazillion city apartment homes with precious little storage space. Visiting with Brenton in DC a few weeks back I was delighted to see her creative “storage”/centerpiece. She received a Damien Hirst inspired demitasse set for Christmas (came from the MOMA gift shop); take a look at what she did with it. PtotheS…Notice the often present Hirst skull reflecting in the cup on the far left in the pic below!
