So I thought I would try out a blog. I figured I could use this as a journal of sorts, a way for people to find out more about my music in connection with http://www.brandonbascom.com and a way to make photos and information accessible.
Here is a short biography.
Brandon Bascom, a native of Provo, Utah, began piano lessons at the age of three with Irene Peery. At the age of six he started lessons with Dr. David Glen Hatch. He soloed with the Murray (Utah) Symphony at the age of eight. In 1991 he was selected to appear in the Gina Bachauer Recitals Around the Towne, in Salt Lake City. He gave a solo recital in The Temple Square Concert Series in 1993, and 1995. In 1997, Brandon was a Utah Music Educators Association All State Selection. During the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City Brandon again performed a solo recital at The Assembly Hall on Temple Square. Brandon has won numerous festivals and competitions, including National Federation Music Club Utah State First Prize Winner 2003, NFMC Regional Finalist 2003 and a NFMC National Contestant 2003. He has appeared as a soloist with numerous orchestras including The Brigham Young University Philharmonic Orchestra. Brandon has been the recipient of scholarships at Utah State University, and Brigham Young University. Brandon earned a Bachelor of Music degree from Brigham Young University in August 2004.
