Prof. Louie - 2015 Recipient of Robert H. Chambers Award
7/30/2015

Common Ground on the Hill has presented the Robert H. Chambers Award for Excellence in the Traditional Arts every year since 2000. The award is named in honor of Robert H. Chambers III, who, as President of Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College) and as a Founding Director of Common Ground on the Hill, understood the innate power and potential of the traditional arts to help foster understanding among people of different cultures. The award is presented at the Roots Music & Arts Festival held in early July. Aaron “Professor Louie” Hurwitz’ generosity of spirit and his tireless commitment to both performing and teaching at Common Ground on the Hill have earned him a deserved place among these honored recipients.

Common Ground on the Hill is a traditional, roots-based music, arts and humanities organization founded in 1994 by Executive Director Walt Michael offering quality learning experiences with master musicians, artists, dancers, writers, filmmakers and educators while exploring cultural diversity in search of common ground among ethnic, gender, age and racial groups. It offers a wide variety of programs, ranging from classes and master workshops during the program year (September - April) to weekend-long workshops to the flagship program, Traditions Weeks: two individual weeks of classes, concerts and jams each July.
