They were honored for their recording of Donnacha Dennehy\u2019s composition, \u201cLand of Winter.\u201d Alarm Will Sound is the ensemble-in-residence for the <a href=\"https:\/\/newmusic.missouri.edu\/\">Mizzou New Music Initiative<\/a>, so while the award celebrates two of our faculty members, it also reflects global recognition of our ensemble and music programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Dr. Freund and Dr. Kalinkos are faculty members in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/coas.missouri.edu\/\">College of Arts and Science\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;School of Music and founding members of the 20-person <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alarmwillsound.com\/\">Alarm Will Sound<\/a> ensemble. For the past 15 years, Alarm Will Sound has also served as ensemble-in-residence for the annual Mizzou International Composers Festival and is in residence at Mizzou each January. The ensemble\u2019s first experience with \u201cLand of Winter\u201d was at the Missouri Theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the extraordinary support and vision of Dr. Jeanne Cairns Sinquefield, Rex Sinquefield and the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation, Mizzou is an established destination for music performance and composition. The <a href=\"https:\/\/newmusic.missouri.edu\/\">Mizzou New Music Initiative<\/a>, under the artistic direction of Dr. Freund, brings <a href=\"https:\/\/newmusic.missouri.edu\/upcoming-events\">remarkable opportunities to campus<\/a>, and now our students can study with 2026 Grammy Award\u2013winning faculty. Just last week, we also welcomed the world\u2011renowned St. Louis Symphony Orchestra for an astounding performance in Jesse Auditorium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations to the entire ensemble!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Mun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night in Los Angeles, Alarm Will Sound, a chamber orchestra featuring Mizzou School of Music faculty Stefan Freund and Bill Kalinkos, won the Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music\/Small Ensemble Performance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12587"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12592,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12587\/revisions\/12592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/president.missouri.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
