Pure Michigan – Sophia Orensteen Pays Homage to U-M and Offers Coming-of-Age Tales on ‘AmericanGirl’ Album
Sophia Orensteen’s heart belongs in Ann Arbor.
While the pop-rock singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hails from New York City, she’s ecstatic about attending the University of Michigan this fall as a freshman to study music.
So much in fact that Orensteen has written a song called “Michigan,” which pays homage to the school and serves as the aspirational opener from her debut album, AmericanGirl.
“When it rains” it pours!

With only 75 minutes for the entire Young Composers Concert, our judges could only select 11 compositions out of the 100+ pieces submitted.
With so many submissions this year, the decisions were very difficult for the judges to reach. It is important to remember that there were many outstanding compositions which were not included in the program.
