BC MFA grad Nicholas Anthony Ascioti featured in the TimesUnion

"When Nicholas Anthony Ascioti of Brunswick tells casual acquaintances he's a composer, he says he often gets a response along the lines of, "Oh, really? My cousin writes songs, too."


"It's not exactly the same thing ... but I hate to sound like a snob," Ascioti says."
