North Andover High School Music Student Selected for MMEA Young Composer’s Master Class

North Andover High School Senior Mark Klose has been selected to present his original composition at the Young Composer’s Master Class during this year’s Massachusetts Music Educators’ Association All-State Conference in Boston, March 9 – 11.

Mr. Klose was chosen to participate in the All-State Conference after submitting his choral composition piece titled, "Josiah", which is based on a melody by composer Dave Brubeck, "Unsquare Dance". During the master class, he will meet with fellow student composers and work with Dr. John H. Wallace, composer, and faculty member at Boston University.

An active member of the NAHS music program, Klose has played trumpet in the honors band since his freshman year, and has sung bass in the honors chorus since his junior year. He plans to continue composing and submitting his works to future competitions.
