Louis Anthony deLise has garnered many awards for his writing, including from the National Flute Association for a concerto entitled, Salone del Astor. He was named a Fellow of the New Jersey Council on the Arts in 2023.
He has arranged and conducted on hit records for pop star Patti LaBelle, and written orchestral arrangements for jazz pianist Peter Nero and the Grammy®-winning band Halestorm.
