New England Conservatory congratulates Jordan Montgomery ’08, on sharing a Lone Star Emmy Award, presented November 9 by the Lone Star (Texas) regional division of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Jordan, who studied composition at NEC with Michael Gandolfi and John Mallia, was honored as part of the core creative team that produced Sam Houston: American Statesman, Soldier and Pioneer, a three-part documentary that aired on PBS in July. A Texas native now living in Jamaica Plain, Jordan composed and arranged the original score.
