The October 1st concert, the season opener, of the Civic Symphony of Green Bay (CSGB) featured my two composition students Rayna Kupsky and Lyndsey Agar. Congrats to you both for not only completing your new compositions but having your world premieres with the Civic Symphony, under the baton of maestro Seong-Kyung Graham.
But there’s more!
Not only are these two concert works performed in the concert hall, but each composer watched a corresponding film while composing, writing each respective piece to synchronize with the timeline of a particular movie. Ms. Kupsky and Ms. Agar, participated in my “Film Scoring for Filmmakers” workshop, the same workshop I facilitated at the Green Bay Film Festival last year. The recordings from the CSGB concert will be edited into the movies, and the final films — with film music scores — will be screened at the Green Bay Film Festival 2017. So again, congratulations to both composers for some very fine work!

Author Warren Gerds, of We Are Green Bay, wrote some nice lines the morning after the Civic Symphony’s premieres. We should also congratulate Lyndsey, who has indeed chosen to continue her education this year at UW-Madison as a music major. Way to go Lyndsey!
| “Following the traditional season-opening performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (always heartening), two brief pieces from films were played by student composers studying with Brent Michael Davids. Brought to life was a mellow flow by Lyndsey Agar, who is studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and spy film action-tension by Rayna Kupsky, 14, of Gresham” [2 Oct 2016, Warren Gerds]. |
