Some really amazing news came in the mail a couple weeks ago, when I found out that Baltimore Magazine had named me the MVP Arts Explorer in their 2010 Best of Baltimore issue. Here’s the blurb:
As both musician (playing sax) and curator (booking the Contemporary’s excellent Mobtown Modern Music Series), Brian Sacawa has helped raise the profile of new music in Baltimore. And folks are still buzzing about Rite of Swing, Mobtown’s jazzy take on Stravinsky’s Rite, which closed out its season in May.
I’m extremely honored to have been recognized and especially to be included in the company of BMA Director Doreen Bolger and Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance Executive Director J. Buck Jabaily. And obviously, I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing in Baltimore without having been embraced and incredibly supported by Irene Hofmann and the Contemporary Museum. Speaking of that, look for Mobtown Modern’s season announcement coming very soon…
