West Side Story

5/24/2012

0 Comments

 
This summer I have the incredible opportunity to be music director for the Spencer Community Theatre in Spencer, IA. Involved in this internship is the being the music director for West Side Story! This show has always been among my favorite music theatre shows and has made a large impact on my development as a musician and composer. I absolutely love the music and the story! Over the past weeks I have really dug into the score (which is very complex -- even as a piano reduction!). We will have a cast by the end of the week and are putting together the orchestra! 

Super excited to conduct and teach this landmark production!

Uploads to soundcloud

I have recently placed several recordings of my music on soundcloud. I know that a lot of them are already available on YouTube, but I was told the soundcloud community is very supportive of new music, especially contemporary classical music.

Also, something that you can find exclusively on soundcloud are recording for "Hamlet," a production at Dordt College that I completed a composition design for, recorded music, but never premiered. Hope you enjoy these recordings!

April 17 - 22, 2012

What a great week! Very, very busy and a little out of my element in terms of technological ability. Had the opportunity to learn from great mentors, like Rob Kaplowitz (Tony Winner for "Fela"). Learned a lot about the basics of sound design, working with Q-Lab and other design programs. 

Received feedback on music for The Glass Menagerie, which was displayed in the design expo. 

In addition to meeting wonderful sound designers from across the nation, I also saw a wonderful production of "The Whipping Man" at the Jewish Cultural Center's Theatre J.

Although its months after my recital, I will slowly begin putting the recordings onto my YouTube channel. Its not that the process takes very long, but I want each upload to receive a little bit of action before I post the next.

Thanks again to all of the wonderful performers! You really made my music come alive!
