Bearns Prize from Columbia University, the Gretchanov Memorial Prize in Composition from the Juilliard School and fellowships from the foundations of Henry Mancini, George Gershwin, and Richard Rogers.

His recent projects include a Piano Concerto commissioned jointly by the Oakland Symphony and the Cabrillo Music Festival and a ballet for the National Ballet Company of Puerto Rico.
