December 8th, 2010

The 44th Annual CMA Awards 2010 is going to be aired live on ABC. These awards that have long been awaited will be a great night for country music.

CMA Awards 2010 and the Hosts

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are going to host this award show for the third time in a row, since they make a great pair. Brad Paisley himself is also one of the nominees for an award category. The categories for the awards include entertainer categories, vocalist categories, and other awards like album, music video and event, single, group, and vocal group, and duo categories that have several nominees under them. This list just fascinates so many country music fans and Carrie Underwood has many supporters that wish for her to do well.

Anything is Fair Game

It is going to be a great day for celebrities who think they will be receiving an award. Celebrities have always been known to dress-up for such occasions and some even go the extent of getting their bodies perfected through surgeries done especially for such award functions.

Not a Huge Difference

Best Liposuction is a form of cosmetic surgery that involves remodeling fat around the body. Liposuction surgery can also be used for complete removal of fat from the body, but some amount of fat is also essential for the body, and surgeons usually make sure people who want to go ahead with this surgical procedure understand the same. Liposuction requires the same amount of post-operative care that any other surgical procedure requires by a surgeon and by the patient.

Cintas Foundation Program at FIU’s Frost Art Museum Opens 2009 Competition for Coveted Music Fellowship

December 13th, 2008

Miami – December 12, 2008 – The Cintas Foundation and the Frost Art Museum at Florida International University today announced the start of the annual competition for the 2009 Brandon Fradd Fellowship in Music Composition administered by the foundation and the Cintas Fellowship Program at The Frost.

Established in 2006, this fellowship is generously endowed by Brandon Fradd of NewYork City.  Managing director of Apollo Medical Partners, Fradd, a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Medical School, grew up in Miami among Cuban friends from whom he learned Spanish and developed an interest in Cuban music.

The only one of its kind in the nation, the program has honored some of the world’s most talented Cuban musicians. Past music fellows include Armando Bayolo, Sergio Barroso, Mario Bauza (known as the father of Afro-Cuban jazz), José Bernardo Aldo Rafael Forte, Julián Orbon, Tania León and Orlando Jacinto Garcia. Last year, the first William B. Warren Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Bebo Valdes. The Cintas Foundation awards fellowships annually to creative artists of Cuban lineage who are currently residing outside of Cuba. Winners will be announced in May 2009.

“Endowing a specific fellowship for music composition is a visionary gesture which supports the rich heritage of Cuban music for the enjoyment of all. The music community is indebted to Brandon Fradd for his generosity,” said Hortensia E. Sampedro, president of the Cintas Foundation.

Applicants for the music fellowship must submit original musical compositions and recordings of their work by January 30, 2009.  Cintas fellows are awarded $15,000 and the opportunity to pursue an art project outlined in their applications. Since it was established in 1963, the Cintas Fellowship Program has honored more than 300 artists. FIU and the Cintas Foundation Board have been administering the awards program since 2005.

The Cintas Fellowship Program encourages creative development in architecture, literature, music composition and the visual arts, and awards annual fellowships in creative writing and visual arts as well. The foundation was established with funds from the estate of Oscar B. Cintas (1887-1957), former Cuban ambassador to the United States, a prominent industrialist and patron of the arts.
