PITTSBURGH (AP) — A California composer who combines electronic club music with symphony orchestras is one of five winners of the Heinz Award for his work in the arts and humanities.

Composer Mason Bates, 35, of San Francisco, has also used old car parts to create new instruments and engage a wider, younger audience. Bates is composer-in-residence with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and is also a DJ at late-night dance clubs.
