The invitation-only dinner and awards ceremony paid special tribute to Trevor Rabin, and honored composers of the top box office film music, the most performed television music and the top video game music of 2011.

ASCAP President and Chairman Paul Williams presented ASCAP's Henry Mancini Award to acclaimed composer Trevor Rabin in recognition of his outstanding achievements and contributions to the world of film and television music. A member of the group Yes for over a decade, Rabin, a guitarist, keyboardist, singer, songwriter, producer and recording engineer, is one of the most sought-after film composers today. Director Jon Turteltaub, who worked with Trevor on three of his films, National Treasure, National Treasure: Book of Secrets and The Sorcerer's Apprentice, took to the stage to speak on behalf of Trevor and introduced a video montage highlighting his distinguished film career (including Armageddon, Remember the Titans and Con Air). To close out the evening, Rabin performed his most notable penned hit, Yes's single "Owner of a Lonely Heart," from their best-selling album 90125, with the band GROUPLOVE, featuring his son Ryan Rabin on drums.
