Jonah Haven wins Luciano Berio Rome Prize for Musical Composition

The American Academy in Rome recently announced the 2024-2025 Rome Prize winners, including graduate student Jonah Haven. These highly competitive fellowships support advanced independent work and research in the arts and humanities. This year, the Rome Prize—the gift of “time and space to think and work”—was awarded to thirty-one American artists and scholars, who will each receive a stipend, workspace, and room and board for five to ten months at the Academy’s eleven-acre campus in Rome, starting this September. Rome Prize winners are selected annually by juries of distinguished artists and scholars through a national competition.

Jonah Haven received the Luciano Berio Rome Prize for his work A Prone and Useful Nothingness: Music-Making within the Sixth Mass Extinction.
