On behalf of ASMAC, it is with great sadness that our world of music has lost two amazing composers / arrangers with the recent passing of Lalo Schifrin and Alf Clausen. It was wonderful to have had the joy of honoring both of them with our ASMAC Golden Score Awards. Lalo received his in 2004 and Alf was in 2016.
These two brilliant minds created music that will live on forever in our hearts.
