Two Recognized for Contributions to the Arts at Johns
Hopkins
Matthew Stofferahn, a composer, trombonist and
member of the
School of Medicine's class of 2007, was awarded the
Louis Sudler Prize in the Arts for 2007. The $1,500 prize
was awarded at an event on May 1. Brittany Sterrett,
an
international studies / Romance languages and
literatures dual major who also excels in modern dance,
received the President's Commendation for Achievement in
the Arts.
The Sudler Arts Prize is awarded to the graduating
senior from Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Nursing or
Peabody, or the fourth-year medical student, who, in the
opinion of the committee, has demonstrated excellence and
the highest standards of proficiency in performance,
execution or composition in music, theater, dance, fiction,
poetry, painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, film or
video.
Stofferahn was recognized for his trombone
performances with the Hopkins Symphony Orchestra, submitted
on an audio CD with notes, and for two original
compositions, the Fanfare and Lux Aeterna. He will soon
begin an internship in emergency medicine at Christiana
Medical Center in Delaware. (See story,
"Spotlight on the Johns Hopkins
Class of 2007," in this issue.)
The President's Commendation for Achievement in the
Arts recognizes a graduating senior at Homewood who, while
demonstrating artistic excellence, has also used art in
service to the Homewood campus community. Sterrett, who
will be going to work at the Defense Intelligence Agency,
impressed the Sudler Prize Committee with the creativity
and technical aspects of her dance performances, as well as
her leadership and commitment to promoting dance programs
on the Homewood campus.
