AVIE CONGRATULATES ITS GRAMMY^®-NOMINATED ARTISTS IN THREE CATEGORIES!

Michael Repper, National Philharmonic • Best Orchestral Performance
Curtis Stewart • Best Classical Instrumental Solo
Susan Narucki • Best Classical Vocal Solo Album

GRAMMY^® Award-winning conductor Michael Repper and the Washington D.C.-based National Philharmonic have been nominated for a GRAMMY^® Award in the Best Orchestral Performance category for their world-premiere recording of works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.

The same recording features six-time GRAMMY^®-nominated violinist Curtis Stewart who has been nominated for Best Classical Instrumental Solo.

A third nomination for an AVIE artist this year goes to soprano Susan Narucki – previously nominated and winning multiple times – for her recording of György Kurtág’s Kafka Fragments.

In 2023, Michael Repper became the youngest North American conductor to win a GRAMMY^® Award in the Best Orchestral Performance category, for an album with the New York Youth Symphony.

This year’s GRAMMY^® nomination is the first for the National Philharmonic who made their commercial recording debut with the album that includes Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Toussaint L’Ouverture, Ballad Op. 4 and Suite from “24 Negro Melodies”.

Curtis Stewart’s contributions to the Coleridge-Taylor album include his own arrangements of Three Selections from the composer’s “24 Negro Melodies”, earning him a GRAMMY^® nomination for Best Classical Instrumental Solo, marking the fifth consecutive year the violinist has been nominated.
