| Former University of Chicago Professor of Composition -- one of the city's most prominent and controversial composers -- passed away during the summer of 2002. In April 1992, the Pulitzer Prize music jury unanimously chose Shapey's "Concero Fantastique," jointly commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the University of Chicago to honor their respective centennials, for the 1992 Pulitzer for music. In a completely unexpected move, the panel was overruled by the Pulitzer board who chose "The Face of Night" by Wayne Peterson instead. Shapey was the founder and director of the Contemporary Chamber Players from 1964 to his retirement in 1996.
