Symposium: Broadway Orchestrations May 7, 2009

The Music Division of the Library of Congress is hosting a two-day symposium on Broadway orchestrations. Panel discussions will examine the craft and the orchestrations and careers of such Broadway legends as Robert Russell Bennett, Robert "Red" Ginzler, Don Walker, Philip J. Lang and Ralph Burns. Joining in the discussion will be a dozen top musicians - orchestrators, conductors, composers and musical director - who have been active on Broadway for more than 50 years.
