Anthony Davis - 2011 Chancellor's Associates Faculty Excellence Award

Anthony Davis, Professor of Music
Excellence in Performing and Visual Arts
Davis has been lauded internationally as one of the foremost musicians/composers of his generation, and as a gifted concert pianist, notably in improvised music. His art is driven by a passion for illuminating the African American experience; among his best-known works is the opera, Amistad. Davis is active in community outreach, teaches a range of undergraduate courses and is in demand as a graduate advisor and committee member.
"We are truly fortunate to have Anthony Davis in our midst," said Aleck Karis, acting chair of the department of music. "He is a world-renowned creative artist whose work has had a major and lasting impact in the music world, a dedicated teacher and a humanist committed to finding ways to move forward to a more just and equitable society."
