Rome Prize
b'
Once a year the American Academy in Rome holds a competition, honoring 15 emerging artists as well as 15 scholars from the US with the so-called Rome Prize.
\\nThe winners are invited to the Academy, where they can thrive on the presence of cultural heritage as well as the exchange with the fellows from other fields.
\\n
\\nWe take a look at some of the compositions, that winners in musical composition have composed either while staying in Rome, or based on their experiences there.
