FREE EVENT: Teen Genius Alexander Prior Appearing at The NW Mahler Festival

What's up TeenTixers, I have to make it brief as I'm departing for The Great White North, but I just heard about this and wanted to share!!!! Alex Prior is an amazing composer and conductor with whom I've had the pleasure of watching several times in performance. He's an amazing teen and we should all get out and support him!

Here's an article by Michael Kysar wonderfully explaining Alex, his life, and what he's doing.

"Alex Prior is the principle conductor for the annual Northwest Mahler Festival to be held on July 17th in Benaroya Hall in Seattle. He received two master degrees in conducting and in composition from St. Petersburg Conservatory at the age of 16. He conducted the Mahler 4th Symphony with Seattle Symphony Orchestra last year. He is now 18 years old and has recently conducted orchestras in Denmark and Germany.

YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=alex+prior&aq=0&oq=Alex+Prior) has lots of examples of his work, including interviews.

Young performers are invited to ask questions and get to know this extraordinary young musician. I’ve had numerous conversations with him, and he is funny, incredibly enthusiastic, and an amazing musician."
