Tan Dun

Tan Dun's trophy shelf is a testament to his range. He is one of the few composers to hold both an Oscar and a Grammy, and his Grawemeyer Award for Marco Polo placed him among the most daring opera composers of his generation. His international honors, including the Bach Prize and the Golden Lion, reflect a career that has crossed borders and genres. As a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and Dean of Bard College, he has also shaped the next generation of musicians.
