Our 4th week in our professional guest artist webinar series continues with Maestro Greg Conway interviewing composer John Mackey who never formally studied a musical instrument, but received his Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from the Cleveland Institute of Music and his Master’s from Juilliard in composition.
John Mackey is a composer who had a rather unconventional musical journey. He never formally studied a musical instrument, but he received his Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from the Cleveland Institute of Music and his Master’s from Juilliard in composition. Originally he started writing for dance companies and continued composing pieces for symphonic band and orchestra. Hear one of his pieces here on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8B_10PQFtE.
About the Webinar Series
In 2020, The Jenny Lin Foundation is offered a free series of webinars featuring musicians and others in the music industry. They were interactive sessions on the Zoom platform and all young musicians (grades 6-12) and their parents were invited.
