The South Dakota Symphony Orchestra has received an award for programming from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.
The annual ASCAP Adventurous Programming Awards recognize U.S. orchestras whose past season prominently featured music written within the last 25 years.
According to the ASCAP Web site, ASCAP and the League of American Orchestras presented 26 awards to orchestras at a presentation Thursday in Chicago.
The South Dakota Symphony won first place in the contemporary music category for orchestras with expenses of $1.8 million to $5.7 million.
"For every year of the past 52 years, the members of ASCAP have presented Adventurous Programming Awards to those orchestras whose commitment to the music creators of our time insures the continuity of our living art form for future generations," said Francis Richard, ASCAP's vice president and director of concert music, in a release.
