Arthur Zorn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Zorn is a musician and artist from Montpelier, Vermont. Zorn is a composer of vocal and piano music. His major pieces, "January 25th, 1945" (about the liberation of Auschwitz) and "Garden Sketches" (a suite for piano) have been performed all around New England. Currently, Zorn resides in Montpelier, Vermont and teaches vocal music at Spaulding High School. He is currently collaborating with local musician Piero Bonamico Sr. on a light-hearted oratorio due to be completed in the near future. As of April 2007, plans for the oratorio have been shelved due to Zorn's hectic schedule and Bonamico's health. Though not completely scrapped the oratorio, tentatively called "Granite Dreams" by its creators, has been put on hold.
In addition to being a musician, Zorn has received praise from all around the United States and Canada for his impressionist and abstract artwork. In July of 2007, Zorn's newest artwork will be featured in the third installment of the Bundy Gallery's powerful series based on Zorn's creations; the third installment will be called "Zorn 3."
Arthur Zorn has won several awards for his teaching: he was elected Spaulding High School Teacher of the Year in 1994, and also won the Jaycee Outstanding Young Educator earlier in his career. Zorn has been a finalist in the Vermont State Teacher of the Year[1].
