Patrick Holcomb (2018) was one of just eight young composers nationally to be named a winner at the prestigious 68th annual BMI Student Composer Awards.
Director of the Awards and BMIF President Deirdre Chadwick announced the recipients online, and the winners will join the 2021 class at a ceremony next year in New York City.
The BMIF celebrated all winners throughout the month of May 2020 on the organization’s social media platforms. The foundation received nearly 600 online applications to the competition from students throughout the Western Hemisphere, and all works were judged anonymously.
Patrick completed his Undergraduate Degree at Ithaca College, graduating top of his class in the School of Music and is currently finishing his master's degree at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where he was awarded the Composition Department Graduate Assistantship, the 2019 Georgina Joshi Composition Commission Award, and the 2019/2021 Jon Vickers Film Scoring Award.
