Listen to Paul's award-winning composition online.

For any composer, hearing one’s work played by a prestigious orchestra is as good as it gets. Composer Paul Fowler ’01 debuted his composition Tapu'at at Carnegie Hall in New York City on February 25, 2007, with the New York Youth Symphony. Fowler, who won a composition competition sponsored by the orchestra, says that the piece was inspired by labyrinths, specifically those of the Hopi culture. The New York Times called Fowler’s composition “colorful, attractive music...an ideal showcase for these accomplished players.”
