On today’s episode, we’re chatting with IOCSF’s very own Nicholas Weininger. Nick started off in IOC as a member of the tenor section, but it wasn’t long before his talents as a composer started to emerge. He then went on to become our very first Composer in Residence, and in total, we have performed ten of his works over the years!
