Dear Maestro de la Vega:

On behalf of the Cintas Foundation, I am pleased in inform you that the Board of Directors has voted to award you the William B. Warren Lifetime Achievement Award in Music Composition

The award is named after Cintas Foundation Chairman William B. Warren who has led the foundation for the last 20 years.

Your vast catalogue of works encompassing compositions in all media except opera, your promotion of contemporary classical music of Latin America, your dedication to the teaching profession as a distinguished professor of music and your contributions as a very active lecturer merit such recognition.

As one of the best known Cuban composers of your generation , you offer us a dramatic, intense and expressive musical style.

We are pleased to recognize you for a career that spans more than 50 years and includes recognition from around the world and most recently a nomination of a Latin Grammy for Best Classical Contemporary Compositon for your piece Variacion del Recuerdo (Variations of a Memory)

You are cordially invited to attend the Award Ceremony at the Frost Art Museum of Florida International University on May 20, 2009, at 7:00 p.m. to which the public is invited.

My personal congratulations on such an important lifetime achievement!

Sincerely, Hortensia E. Sampedro, president, the Cintas Foundation, Dedicated to Cuban Arts and Humanities Since 1963, www.cintasfoundation.org
