Zeph Siebler
Lincoln, NE – Junior at Lincoln High School
Siebler is an international baccalaureate program senior. He is the recipient of a 2021 Nebraska Young Artist Award for his compositions. As a senior soloist, he performed “Velvet Night,” an original piece for voice and orchestra, with the Lincoln Youth Symphony. He’s written and arranged music for diverse ensembles around the city, from big bands, to cello duets, to rock ensembles. He is planning to major in music composition and study vocal music. Since he was young, musical theater has entranced him; from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to Beetlejuice to Jesus Christ Superstar. When he’s not writing or performing music, he enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons, learning about philosophy, volunteering at YMCA Camp Kitaki, and working at an after-school program.
