Larry Bustamante (candidate, B.Mus., sax performance and music education) and Jessica DiMari (candidate, B.Mus., composition) were recently awarded the Brooklyn College Alumni Association Award ($4,000 to each).

In fall 2013, music education majors Nia Austin and Matthew Davis co-founded (and re-established) the Brooklyn College Gospel Choir as an active musical club. They have performed successfully both on campus (Studio 312; Lily Pond) and off (Methodist Hospital and Sloane-Kettering) during 2013–14.
