Education and career

Bunch performed in the Portland Youth Philharmonic for five years (1986–1991). He graduated from Wilson High School (Portland, Oregon) in 1991 then attended The Juilliard School, where he earned degrees in viola performance and composition.

In March 2010 Bunch returned to Portland, Oregon, for a performance of his orchestral work "For Our Children's Children," by the Portland Youth Philharmonic. On the same concert, he joined the orchestra onstage to perform Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5, which he has said helped to inspire him to become a composer. Bunch's composition String Circle No. 1 is featured on the 2012 album Heavy from string quartet ETHEL.

In June 2013, Bunch was named the interim director of the Fear No Music Young Composers Project.
