Out of hundreds of applicants, Bright is among 11 students in the state to be selected to perform at the concert. She kept him on task with the deadline and requirements, which included sending a recording of his composition, a copy of the music and his application. “I always liked heavy metal and rock, and I wanted to apply it to a classical piece.”īright wrote his composition as a fifth grader when his elementary school music teacher, Adele Hoffman, encouraged him to enter the competition. “I chose this name because this piece has a very dark aesthetic, and it uses a lot of Middle-Eastern scales,” said Bright, who has been playing the piano since he was 7. Written for solo piano, Bright described his composition, “Sahar Aswad,” which translates to “dark magic” in Arabic, as a heart-pumping piece that he is excited to share with an audience. Sam Bright, sixth grader, was selected to perform his composition, Sahar Aswad, during the Young Composer Honors Concert at the New York State School Music Association Winter Conference on December 6, 2019.
