Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Wins 2 Grammy Awards

PITTSBURGH, PA - The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra came up big at the 60th annual Grammy Awards Sunday, but the Pittsburgh hardcore metal band Code Orange came away disappointed.

Conductor Manfred Honeck and the symphony won a Grammy for best orchestral performance for their recording of “Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5; Barber: Adagio.” Engineer Mark Donahue also won a Grammy best engineered album, classical, for the same recording.

The symphony previously won a Grammy in 1992 for best classical performance, instrumental solo with orchestra, for a recording with Yo-Yo Ma.

Code Orange was nominated for best metal performance for the song “Forever.” Mastodon won that Grammy for the song “Sultan’s Curse.”
