What's New...... CareersInMusic.com recently contacted Bob about his long career in Music Preparation. These folks do a fine job in highlighting the many career paths that exist in the field of music. The site is particularly valuable for students as well as those looking for a new direction. You can read his interview here Bob is also working on a musical about a well known American author and already has completed several recording sessions as part of the project. Stay tuned for more... Bob orchestrated William Perry's Music for Great Films of the Silent Era: Part II, now available on Naxos. Once again, Paul Phillips conducts the remarkable RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra and old friend Michael Chertock lends his formidable piano skills. Featured are mezzo-soprano Wallis Giunta; baritone John Brancy; Tim Hutchins, principal flute with Orchestre symphonique de Montréal; and Nick Byrne, trombonist with Syndey Symphony Orchestra -- but on this recording Nick is performing on the ophicleide. Yes, the ophicleide! Enjoy! |
