Interlochen senior Danny Burns plays a flute piece by Valerie Coleman in IPR's Studio A

IPR Senior Danny Burns is busy preparing his flute for college auditions, and came by Studio A to share some music with us.

Danny performed the extremely challenging, "Danza de la Mariposa" (Dance of the Butterfly) by Valerie Coleman. The piece is made up of complex South American themes and extended techniques.

By way of nifty coincidence, on his way out of Studio A to head back to class, Danny received a text containing his first college acceptance letter!

Toi toi toi Danny!

Listen to Danny's peformance and interview above.
