Composers and Sound Designers for the Stage

Music is not just a core component for musicals. In plays, a cello underscore can evoke a sense of melancholy for a character, or a chorus of trumpets might announce an approaching royal entrance. From music to sound effects, the creative and technical work of composers and sound designers translates theatric works into multi-sensory experiences. Theatre enthusiasts will delight in hearing professionals discuss their audio artistry, while they learn how the subtle tranquility of birds chirping off stage compared to the rattling a scene gets from a jackhammer thumping throughout it, is designed to contribute to overall storytelling.
