March's is Colin Desch. The Montpelier High School ninth grader already has a recent premiere under his belt.
Colin's love of music is encouraged by his family, to the point where his father's annual Christmas request is a new piece, composed and performed by Colin and his sister. "Music is a thing that comes from inspiration, and there鈥檚 nothing you can just pull straight out of your head," says Colin. "You have to think about it a lot to find something that comes close to being purely creative."
The Student Composer Showcase is produced in collaboration with Music-COMP's online composition mentoring program. Find out more at .
Colin wrote Tempesta for the Farmers' Night David M. Wilson Memorial Concert presented on Jan. 27, 2016 with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. Jaime Laredo directed an ensemble of VSO musicians.
