[...] And those are just the superficial details. That doesn’t even touch on the range of styles in their music. As the contest approaches, we will profile each composer in more detail. For now, their bios and pictures are available on the Finalists page. [...]

It is no accident that Sunny was ready to compose Oct. 2nd. He has been composing at the pace of one on fire, throughout undergrad years, while receiving three music degrees; BA’s in Theory/Composition, in Jazz and in Piano performance. Encouraging camaraderie, he composed for any combination of instruments his fellow music majors could throw at him. By his senior year, faculty had asked him to take on, as well as full-blown orchestra and concert band pieces, an evening of Soprano/Tuba for professors in performance. While being a state university (which guarantees an excess of general education requirements), CSUS’s music department is staffed by PhD’s from Julliard, New England Conservatory, USC, Indiana U., San Francisco Conservatory, and award winners of Fulbright-Hays and Royal Conservatory in the Hague, so Sunny was put through the paces.

After graduating, he decided to become a working musician in NYC for a couple years. While earning his living at piano, Sunny has continued composing, including his half-hour piano piece for Richard Cionco “American Variations” played at Schlern International Music Festival. Obviously, you are hearing his mother’s pride. But, what I can tell about Sunny best is his steady love, sense of humor and perspective which guide his life and help shape his music. He is the sunshine on our family.

Can you use a dancer? That’d be cool.
