BIO:
Luke Nickel is a 17 year old composer who lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He will be entering grade twelve, and is currently a student at Westgate Mennonite Collegiate. Luke plays flute in the school band, along with the Winnipeg Youth Symphony Orchestra. He takes private flute lessons with Laurel Ridd, and has begun taking private composition lessons with Dr. David Scott. This past year the Winnipeg Youth Symphony Orchestra commissioned a piece from Luke – and the result, Avant-Glague, is what he entered into this year’s competition. Along with flute and composition, Luke plays tenor sax and bass guitar in the school jazz band. He hopes to continue with composition and flute into university and beyond.
In addition to music, Luke is an avid writer and artist. |
