What a totally thrilling concert with the
@apsu_symphony featuring Frankenstein: The Movie Score with visiting composer Michael Shapiro who was kind enough to spend 3 days on campus with us. The students played with great dedication, focus, and brought to life by lightning-strike this true masterpiece of cinema and music for lively audience. Thank you
@chappmaestro for your generosity this week!!
Last night was also the podium debut of two new graduate orchestral conducting students
@ale_23drums and
@alexanderthegreat0296 who led strong performances of Mozart 40 (first movement)… AND a brand new full orchestration of music from the critically acclaimed video game The Baby in Yellow with music by
@ginxel and orchestrated by
@tony_manfredonia and paired with visuals from
@teamterriblegames . This is a FANTASTIC new piece of university/youth orchestra literature that our students loved playing!!! High School and Middle School students who come to the new APSU Full Orchestra Honor Festival in February will have the opportunity to perform it too! Conductor friends — do consider this great new piece (coming soon to UNC Chapel Hill with
@evan_harger_ )!
Happy spooky season. More photos from the road soon…
