The CSUN Department of Music and the CSUN Studio Ensemble announced that this year’s Annual Media Composition Studio Ensemble Showcase will feature television and film composer Sean Callery. The Emmy Award-winning composer of such shows as 24, Homeland, Bones, Backstrom and Elementary recently won the Composer’s Choice Award for 2014 Composer of the Year at the ASCAP Film & Television Music Awards. The showcase will feature CSUN student orchestra musicians performing alongside L.A. studio professionals. The concert will include the premiere performance of Callery’s music for the 200th episode of Bones, which he co-composed with Jamie Forsyth and Julia Newmann. For the episode set in the 1950s, the composer used a live orchestra to help capture the mood of the story’s unique film noir style. The event will take place on Thursday, May 7 at 7:30pm at the Plaza Del Sol Performance Hall, CSUN Campus in Northridge, CA. Tickets are free and can be picked up any school day between 10am – 5pm at the Plaza Del Sol Box Office on CSUN Campus, and will also be available at the venue the night of the concert starting at 6:30pm. Past Studio Ensemble Showcases have featured composers such as David Newman (Ice Age), Bruce Broughton (Silverado), Christopher Young (Spider-Man 3), Garry Schyman (BioShock) and Mark Watters (Aladdin TV series).
