Our vision is for a rich and diverse performance and public discussion of this musical heritage, together with comprehensive educational programs for local public schools and colleges, the local community including youth classes and ensembles, audio recordings, a physical home-base, enrichment programs for the wider artistic community and providing educators access to the tools to carry on the teachings of an art where presently few teachers exist whether in person or remotely throughout the New York and greater Tri-State areas as well as at the national and international levels.

Happy to share with you all a video of my film scoring composition Dreaming - which I orchestrated for my recent film scoring session at Berklee Power Station in Studio A (Formerly known as Avatar Studios)! So very thankful for all the staff, engineers, videographers and musicians who made this all possible! Thank you to the filmmakers who entrusted me to score their films! (Scheduled to be scoring 2-3 indie films this year - in the genres of drama, thriller, etc - and currently working on the contract for me to score a PBS Documentary). For the past 5 years I dove myself deep into the world of film scoring - studying with Damien Sneed, Richard Sussman and Jim McNeely - taking film scoring/orchestration classes at Manhattan School of Music. This past summer studying at NYU’s summer film scoring program where I got to work with a few of my favorite film composers - Mac Quayle (Mr. Robot, Ratched), Sean Callery (24, Bones, Jessica Jones, Bull), Blake Neely (The Flash, Arrow, You, Riverdale, Blindspot), Nathan Barr (The Great, Carnival Row, Sneaky Pete), Michael Levine (Cold Case, Siren), and Mark Snow (X Files, Smallville, Blue Bloods, The New Mutants).

In a 90-minute special investigation, FRONTLINE and The Associated Press go inside Russia’s war on Ukraine and uncover harrowing evidence of potential war crimes. This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate. “Putin’s Attack on Ukraine: Documenting War Crimes” draws on original footage; interviews with Ukrainian citizens and prosecutors, top government officials and international war crimes experts; and a vast amount of previously unpublished evidence obtained and verified by the AP — including hundreds of hours of surveillance camera videos and thousands of audio recordings of intercepted phone calls made by Russian soldiers around Ukraine's capital city, Kyiv. From award-winning director Tom Jennings, producer Annie Wong, AP global investigative reporter Erika Kinetz and her AP colleagues, the 90-minute documentary traces a pattern of atrocities committed by Russian troops in Ukraine, focusing on areas near Kyiv, such as Bucha, where some of the most shocking carnage was found. FRONTLINE and the AP uncovered exclusive evidence that links possible war crimes in Bucha through the chain of command to one of Russia’s top generals — evidence that prosecutors hope might help build a case against Russian President Vladimir Putin in court. But the joint investigation also explores the challenges of trying to hold Putin and other Russian leaders to account. #UkraineWar #Documentary #Russia Find FRONTLINE on the PBS Video App, where more than 300 of our documentaries available to watch any time: https://to.pbs.org/FLVideoApp Subscribe on YouTube: http://bit.ly/1BycsJW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/frontlinepbs Twitter: https://twitter.com/frontlinepbs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/frontline “Putin’s Attack on Ukraine: Documenting War Crimes” is a FRONTLINE production with 2Over10Media in association with The Associated Press.
