An award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) honors a member of the Fresno Pacific University music faculty.

Larry Warkentin received an ASCAPLU$ Standard Award, a cash prize for writers of serious music. Selections are based on the value of each writer’s compositions as well as recent performances of his or her works. “We are delighted to join your educational institution in supporting the growth and development of our nation’s musical future,” said Marilyn Bergman, ASCAP president and chairman of the board.
