Trimillos, a professor emeritus of ethnomusicology<\/a> was recognized for his profound influence on the preservation and perpetuation of the islands’ cultural, musical and artistic traditions.<\/p>\n

“This is an honor that was completely unanticipated, but it also is an important way station to where I have been, and the people that helped me to get there,” Trimillos said. “Looking out over the assembled audience I was moved to see how many parts of my life were represented by the five tables of friends and students who attended and supported me. I haven\u2019t processed the entire experience, but it is certainly one of the high points of my retirement age!”<\/p>\n
