End of the Year – Dec. 2/2008
Well, it’s been a heck of a year. Last week I wrapped up all the original music for the 23rd Gemini Awards, and the score for the upcoming Ron James New Year’s Eve Special on CBC. In the next few months I’ll be scoring a 1 hour magic special for the CBC as well, featuring the amazing Greg Frewin…..and will begin work on a CBC Xmas movie featuring Cynthia Dale. In the next couple of weeks I’ll be flying out to Vancouver to do some work on the upcoming Michael Buble album with Bob Rock. Wishing everyone a peaceful ho

Well, now that we have a winner for the Hockey Night in Canada Anthem Challenge, i can take my muzzle off!

It’s been awhile but it’s been busy. I’ve spent the summer so far conducting a 20-piece orchestra on CBC’s “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?”. It’s Andrew Lloyd Webber’s show, and the point of it is to find the new Maria for the upcoming Mirvish production of “The Sound of Music” at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto. It was a runaway success in England, so we’ve got high hopes for it here. It’s been great fun, working with a hundred people on a show, instead...
