Congratulations to New Yorker classical critic Alex Ross, one of this year’s recipients of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s “genius” grants. Violinist Leila Josefowicz and sax player Miguel Zenon were also recipients of the grants, which add up to $500,000 over the course of five years. [MacArthur Foundation]
