CUE CONNECTION

BANDRIKA STUDIOS

Join us for this day all about the power of great music packed into a small ensemble! Helix Collective premieres 8 original works from our call-for-scores with the American Society of Music Arrangers and Composers.

The day begins with a discussion with composer Nathan Barr and ASMAC host Charles Fernandez on the power of small ensembles. Learn how Nathan gets the most color, variety, and bang from a chamber group and how he uses his home base at Bandrika Studios to record this music for film and television. 

The music will span a wide variety of styles of music from jazz, film music, neo-romantic, and genre-bending new works. Featured ASMAC member composers from Los Angeles, Italy and the UK include Lorenzo Barcella, Szu-Han Chen, Patrick Gutman, Jessica Jarvis, Annette Johnson, Eva Mazurek, Amélie Rolland, and Edmund J. Song. 

This concert is supported in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Thank you to our concert sponsors BMI and the Alliance for Women Film Composers.
