Jennifer Higdon grew up with rock 'n roll - but taught herself the flute and turned to composition in her college years.
She's now a Pulitzer Prize and three-time Grammy winning composer whose work will be performed next month by NZ Trio.
Auckland, Whitianga and Greytown will be treated to Jennifer's work 'Piano Trio,' which belongs to a whole series of pieces inspired by colour.
It will feature Somi Kim on piano, Ashley Brown on cello and Amalia Hall on violin.
