Chaz Niles, 17, is a junior at North Kitsap High School and a running start student at Olympic College. He started taking piano lessons when he started elementary school. The Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 is the second concerto piece he has worked on, and he is grateful that Bremerton Westsound Symphony provided an opportunity to perform with them. He is a die-hard Seahawks fan and watches football games almost every Sunday during the football season. He also enjoys playing basketball and designing Legos. He would like to thank Dr. Irene Bowling, who has taught him the importance of music from various periods, making him a more well-rounded pianist, and for all the priceless advice and support beyond the Piano.
