William David
Brohn
With the orchestration of Claude-Michel
Schönberg’s score for Wuthering Heights, William
David Brohn returns to Yorkshire to continue his long association
with the composer for whom he also orchestrated Miss Saigon
and Martin Guerre.
Brohn’s connection to dance music
dates back to the 60s when he began as conductor for the Robert
Joffrey Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and the Royal Ballet’s
tours of America during Sir Frederick Ashton’s tenure.
When he took up the pen as orchestrator in the ensuing decades,
it was for such choreographers as Agnes De Mille, Twyla Sharp,
Lar Lubovitch, Anthony Dowell, and Sir Kenneth MacMillan.
Besides being noted for his work at
Stratford-upon-Avon, the West End, the Royal National Theatre
and New York’s Broadway, Brohn is recognised as an arranger
and composer for numerous artists including Placido Domingo,
Marilyn Horne and most recently for Joshua Bell with Bernstein’s
West Side Story Suite for Violin and Orchestra on Sony Classical
with the London Symphony Orchestra.
