From the NewsTimes, "Kevin Jay Isaacs, a professor of music and music education at Western Connecticut State University, has earned an Award of Merit in composition from the Global Music Association.
His work, inspired by the Sasquatch, is a four-movement composition called "Skookum Suite Op. 112."
The Global Music Association is a top-tier music competition based in
California that honors talented musicians around the world.
Isaacs teaches theory, composition and choral studies. His
award-winning piece is one of several WestConn contributions to "Mad
Dances: American Music for Saxophone and Piano," an album of
contemporary compositions that Albany Records released last year.
Dan Goble, WestConn's dean of the School of Visual and Performing Arts, plays the saxophone and music professor Russell Hirshfield plays the piano on the album.
