Music Team

The Music Team provides musical expertise to a production, must have strong communication and organizational skills, and be able to work collaboratively with the show's Director and cast. It is essential that the production's Director, Vocal Director, and Conductor have an ongoing and mutually supportive collaboration. The Director communicates his or her vision of the show, and the Vocal Director and Conductor use their understanding of the show's musical demands to help the director (and cast) be successful. The Assistant Orchestra Director and Accompanist work with the Conductor and Vocal Director to aid in that goal.
