In May 2024, Associate Professor of Music Anthony Cheung received the Andrew Imbrie Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, “which recognizes a mid-career composer of demonstrated artistic merit.” The citation from the Academy reads: “Anthony Cheung’s music is at once exploratory, sensuous, and assured. It has won him wide recognition nationally and internationally, including a Rome Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and commissions from major orchestras and ensembles. Parallel Play for 18 musicians is an imaginative, virtuosic display of formal invention. Tactile Values, for two pianists and two percussionists, combines technologically enhanced instrumental writing and microtonal inflections to yield an innovative and gorgeous world of intimate gestures.”

In October, he received the Yvar Mikhashoff Prize, given annually "to international composers and performers of contemporary concert music, as well as individuals or organizations that have demonstrated excellence in the support of works by living composers through performances, programming, recordings and commissions."
