Members of the GMTWP Musical Theatre Orchestration Class and the Lesbian & Gay Big Apple Corps Symphonic Band
Current GMTWP students in the Musical Theatre Orchestration Class were hosted by The Lesbian & Gay Big Apple Corps Symphonic Band at the band's practice earlier in January, continuing a collaboration between LGBAC and NYU’s Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program that began last year.
Each student arranged a piece of music for the symphonic band as a final assignment for the class. The band played each arrangement during its rehearsal, and at the conclusion of each the student-composer got feedback directly from members of LGBAC, including from symphonic band director Henco Espag (an alum of the GMTWP).
The students were accompanied by their instructor, Danny Haengil Larsen.
LGBAC looks forward to growing its partnership with Danny and his students in the future, and the band was happy to play host to burgeoning talent in orchestration.
