Kevin Vanderburg

Kevin Vanderburg is aging. He began writing music at the age of 12, and had finished his first concerto by the age of 17. He began studying composition with Robert Nelson at the University of Houston in 2000. Vanderburg will begin his masters degree in composition at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the Fall of 2007. He is currently on sabbatical, but do not think his mind isn't still swirling with music! The 'Requiem' got well underway, but then someone close to him, Ryan Donaghy, died of a drug overdose, and Kevin decided it was Kevin time for a while...
