Shaham, Koh, Hadelich and Stewart all were nominated in the "Best Classical Instrumental Solo" category, and Shaham was also nominated in the "Best Classical Compendium" category. Additionally, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Emanuel Ax were nominated in the "Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance" category, as was the JACK Quartet. Also, composer Kris Bowers was nominated for "Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media," for the arrangements she made (many for the Vitamin Quartet) for the Netflix streaming hit "Bridgerton."

Alone Together
Jennifer Koh, violin

Koh's "Alone Together" project was created in response to the coronavirus pandemic and the financial hardship it placed on so many artists and musicians. The album includes a collection of 40 works -- 20 composers, most of whom have salaried positions or other forms of institutional support to carry them through this challenging time, agreed to donate a new, 30-second micro-work for solo violin, while also each recommending a fellow freelance composer to write their own 30-second solo violin work on paid commission from the artist-driven nonprofit ARCO Collaborative.
