Ms. Atwell was named the 1996 winner of the National School Orchestra Association composition contest with her string orchestra piece Modus a Four. She is also the 1997 winner of the Texas Orchestra Directors Association contest with a string orchestra piece entitled Drifen.
Lucy, the ballet, with music by Ms. Atwell and choreography by Alun Jones, was premiered by the Louisville Ballet in January 1999. Lucy was inspired by the discovery of a 3.2 million-year old skeleton, was the subject of a Kentucky Education Television documentary that was aired on Nov. 10, 1999.
In June 2000, the televised production of Lucy was awarded the Arts & Culture Emmy by the Ohio Valley Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. In July, a Certificate of Merit was awarded to Lucy by Unda-USA, the National Catholic Association for Communicators. And in January 2001, Lucy was awarded 2nd place by the National Education Television Association for program performance. In 2002, the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra of North Carolina recorded the music to the ballet Lucy which is now available from Albany Records and iTunes. The compact disc also includes the orchestral suite Movements Four South, and three string orchestra works: Pulsar, Meander, and Drifen.
In 2005 and 2006, Ms. Atwell was commissioned to write works for the McEachern High School String Orchestra of Powder Springs, Georgia, and the Oceanfront String Orchestra of Virginia Beach, Virginia. In 2007, she was commissioned to write a string quartet and a full orchestra piece for the 2007 Kentucky All-State Orchestra. With the coming of the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birthday in February 2009, Ms. Atwell was commissioned to write a full orchestra piece for the Jefferson County All-County Orchestra. This work, entitled Kentucke, was premiered in November 2008 and will be reprised by the Louisville Orchestra in February 2009.
An active composer with many commissions and publications to her credit, Ms. Atwell retired from full-time string teaching with the Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2007. She is looking forward to spending more time composing, arranging, conducting, and presenting. She maintains active membership in ASCAP, Music Educators National Conference, Texas Orchestra Directors Association, and Kentucky Music Educators Association.
