Career Development Forum
Part of the Staten Island Composers Project is The Career Development Forum, a “behind the scenes” panel discussion with the artists and Staten Island high school music and humanities students, to be held at the St. George Theatre the week prior to the show.
Musical director Ray Scro, Coordinator of the Performing Arts Department at Curtis High School and himself a very accomplished jazz saxophonist, will moderate a panel discussion with the three composers in front of area high school students. This session will explore Johansen's, MacDermot's, and Reid's lives in music, the paths they chose to take as artists and the highs and lows of being professional musicians. Students in attendance at these discussions will receive complimentary tickets to the performance at St. George. If you or your organization would like to sponsor a block of student tickets, visit our sponsor page for details and call COAHSI at 718-447-3329.
Musical Director, Ray Scro
