Buffalo, NY – Four years ago, 18 year-old violinist Alex Boissonault was tapped as one of the most promising young musicians in America. The Williamsville native had already traveled all over the world performing with top orchestras. And he was a featured soloist on NPR's "From the Top." Since then, Boissonnault has been honing his considerable talents at Indiana University's esteemed Jacobs School of Music. On a recent visit home, Boissonnault stopped by our WBFO studios to play for us - and to talk with Joyce Kryszak about what's next for him.
