Student Spotlight: Grahm Burns
Central Florida Chapter
American Guild of Organists
The Central Florida Chapter is pleased to announce Grahm Burns of Belleview has been awarded the The Benjamin T. Lane Scholarship of Excellence.
Grahm has studied organ for two years and piano for six years. He is a student of Dr. Terry Yount. His goal is to study organ in college and continue to bring joy to others through performance.
Because Grahm also received the CFAGO Scholarship in 2019, he will be asked to perform at a Chapter event in the coming program year. We look forward to hearing Grahm at the organ.
The Benjamin T. Lane Scholarship of Excellence is supported through contributions from chapter members and from special events.
Congratulations, Grahm.

Student Spotlight: Nathan Petersen
Former Conservatory student Nathan Petersen has spent his summer rehearsing, performing, and touring as the bass trombonist for the prestigious National Youth Orchestra of the United States (NYO-USA).
Following a comprehensive audition process and a three-week training residency with leading professional orchestral musicians, Nathan and other high school students embarked on a tour to some of the great music capitals of the world.
Led by conductor Sir Antonio Pappano, the NYO-USA has performed works by Strauss, Prokofiev, and Berlioz this summer. Their tour kicked off with concerts at Tanglewood and Carnegie Hall featuring Isabel Leonard, followed by performances in Berlin with Magdalena Kožená, and continuing with concerts in Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Germany alongside Joyce DiDonato.
