Congratulations to Raven Chacon, winner of this year’s
Pulitzer Prize in Music.

His piece “Voiceless Mass” is “a mesmerizing, original work for organ and ensemble that evokes the weight of history in a church setting, a concentrated and powerful musical expression with a haunting visceral impact.”
Emeritus Professor of Astronomy at Northern Arizona University
