New York, NY. December 8, 2005 - Nominations for the 48th Annual GRAMMY Awards were announced today by The Recording Academy, reflecting a year in which multiple genres were represented in top categories; collaborations were numerous and diverse; and newer up-and-comers were nominated alongside more established, legendary artists. The nominations were announced at Gotham Hall in New York City and the event was attended by national and international media, as well as key music industry executives. Artists reading nominations this morning included Natasha Bedingfield, Big & Rich, Mariah Carey, Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), Patti LaBelle, John Legend, Carly Simon, Sway, and CeCe Winans. The 48th Annual GRAMMY Awards will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 8, at Staples Center in Los Angeles and once again will be broadcast live in high-definition TV and 5.1 surround sound on CBS from 8 – 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

"As we celebrate the GRAMMYs coast-to-coast, this year's nominations truly reflect a dynamic and vibrant community of music makers that includes artists, producers, engineers, songwriters and everyone involved in the creative process," said Neil Portnow, President of The Recording Academy. "As this is the only music award that is voted on by music makers, the GRAMMY continues to be the preeminent symbol of excellence and achievement as well as the most coveted demonstration of peer-recognition and honor. Once again, our highly respected process has delivered a wealth of music and talent to spotlight on Feb. 8, 2006, during Music's Biggest Night."

CORPUS EVITA, Opera in Two Acts, with libretto by the Camerata's Artistic Director and Conductor, José Luis Moscovich, and score by composer Carlos Franzetti, was nominated for Best Classical Contemporary Composition (Category 105), alongside works by Ned Rorem, William Bolcom, Peter Boyer and Osvaldo Golijov. The Camerata's CD recording of CORPUS EVITA, conducted by maestro Moscovich was released earlier this year by Amapola Records in New York. Interviewed in San Francisco, maestro Moscovich reacted with delight upon hearing the good news. "I'm very pleased. The Camerata's very purpose is to help promote classical music by Latin American composers. The nomination will tune people into our work, and I'm sure they'll like what they hear." Commenting on the creative process, maestro Moscovich had praise for the composer, Carlos Franzetti. "He truly brought the libretto to life. It's wonderful to see Carlos' work properly acknowledged. Corpus Evita is deserving of the highest recognition."

GRAMMY ballots for the final round of voting will be mailed on Dec. 14 to the voting members of The Recording Academy. They are due back to the accounting firm of Deloitte by Jan. 11, when they will be tabulated and the results kept secret until the telecast on February 8.
