Luke’s most recent piece for large ensemble, Endling Song, is named a winner of the 2024 ASCAP Morton Gould Award.

“These incredibly accomplished young composers represent the best of the next generation of concert music,” said The ASCAP Foundation President Paul Williams. “We applaud all of our award recipients and look forward to their assuredly bright futures.”

 “These awards are just one of the many ways that The ASCAP Foundation supports emerging music creators, and we are extremely grateful to our judges and funding partners for their support,” said The ASCAP Foundation Executive Director Nicole George-Middleton.

Endling Song, Luke’s most recent work for large ensemble wins a 2024 BMI Young Composer Award.

The BMI Composer Awards recognize superior ability in music composition with annual awards totaling $20,000. This year, over 550 applications were submitted to the competition from students around the world, and all works were judged anonymously. BMI, in collaboration with the BMI Foundation, has awarded over 600 grants to young composers throughout the history of the competition.

Luke has been named a 2023 recipient of the Charles Ives Scholarship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

This year's 16 recipients of the awards in music were selected by a committee of Academy members: Julia Wolfe (chair), Annea Lockwood, David Sanford, Christopher Theofanidis, Augusta Read Thomas, Chinary Ung, and Melinda Wagner. The awards will be presented at the Academy’s Ceremonial on May 24, 2023.
