Composer Michael Abels, famed for film scores, to visit campus | Cornell Chronicle

Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Michael Abels, best known for his scores for films by director Jordan Peele, will visit campus March 6-7 for two days of public events and concerts. The visit is part of the College of Arts and Sciences' Arts Unplugged series, in partnership with the Department of Music and the Barbara & Richard T. Silver Wind Symphony. Abels won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for the opera "Omar," co-composed with Grammy-winning artist Rhiannon Giddens, and he earned Emmy and Grammy nominations for his scores for the Peele films "Get Out," "Us" and "Nope." His many concert works include the choral song cycle "At War With Ourselves" for the Kronos Quartet, and the Grammy-nominated "Isolation Variation" for violinist Hilary Hahn.
