Laura Sisk, who graduated in 2010, won an album of the year award for her work as an engineer on Taylor Swift’s “1989.” The album also won the award for best pop vocal album.
Two vocalists were also members of groups that won awards, according to a release from the Jacobs School.
Lindsey Lang, who studied in the Jacobs School’s Early Music Institute, is a member of the Kansas City Chorale, which won a best choral performance award for its “Rachmaninoff: All-Night Vigil.”
Angela Brown contributed vocals to “Ask Your Mama,” composer Laura Karpman’s multimedia adaptation of poet Langston Hughes’s “Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz.”
Several other Jacobs alumni and faculty members were nominated for awards in categories including best Latin jazz album and best opera recording.
