Dominick Argento would be in any top 10 list of feted York countians in arts and entertainment fame. (See other York A & E achievers at Cameron Mitchell, Craig Sheffer, Dixie Chick born here.)
Argento, a William Penn High School graduate, won the Pulitzer Prize in music for his work "From the Diary of Virginia Woolf." Argento, for years a professor at the University of Minnesota, has won international acclaim as an opera composer and teacher.
But he's an entertainer as well. ...
From time to time, public radio stations reaching York County play his compositions to an appreciative audience.
And yes, he's of the same large York family as York Daily Record/Sunday News columnist Mike Argento. http://mikeargento.com/
