By Mark Scott

Buffalo, NY – Today is the sixth anniversary of 9/11. The tragedy so moved a then 12-year-old local boy that he wrote a piano composition dedicated to the victims that he called "Ode to Peace."

On this anniversary, Chris Rogerson is now majoring in music composition at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. And that's where WBFO's Mark Scott reached him to talk about "Ode to Peace."
