If you have been following my blog, you know that Gabe has been composing music for a long time. Last year he sent a beautiful composition to a Young Composer's competition. He did not place, but had very encouraging and complimentary comments from the judges. He has since composed more pieces. He found out that one of our church members is the conductor of the Youth Symphony of Denton. He shared his compositions with him and he loved them so much that he wanted the symphony to perform them.
So, last Friday was the first public performance of any of Gabe's compositions!!
This is one of the symphony members. He wanted Gabe's autograph!!
Gabe was SO excited that his name was listed next to J.S. Bach's!
Mr. Chang - the conductor is so encouraging of Gabe and his talent for composing!
Friends came out to support Gabe.
The piece performed was a Fugue and it was amazing!!!
We are hoping to get a video of the performance soon to share.
In the spring they will be performing a different composition of Gabe's. It is actually the one that he sent to the Young Composer's Competition this year and is a favorite of mine.
We are so excited for Gabe and the talents God has gifted him with.
