The LCB is proud to announce our 2025 Bloomquist Prize winner in our annual Young Artist Competition! Saxophonist Nathan Phillips is a senior at Holt High School, where he plays in the wind ensemble under the direction of Michael Emerson. He is a private student of Charlotte Jansky. Nathan has performed in multiple ensembles and has premiered a duet with a fellow student. As a result of his performance in the 2024 MSBOA State Solo & Ensemble Festival, Nathan was nominated as an outstanding soloist for his performance of the first movement of "Fuzzy Bird Sonata" by Akashi Yoshimatsu. Consequently he had the privilege of performing that piece at Holt’s 2024 spring concert.
In addition to the saxophone, Nathan plays other instruments, including bass guitar, and has composed multiple songs. He plans to pursue music performance in college.
We'll feature Nathan at our spring concert performance on Sunday, April 27 in East Lansing. Congratulations!
