The recent show showing the 1923 version of Ben Hur, with a new Stewart Copeland score played by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra was a great success, and more opportunities are coming from it. The thousands of pages of music in our second edition print were trouble free and didn’t prompt a single question from the orchestra, which I’m very happy about. We got overwhelmingly positive reviews from publications such as BMI, CSO Sounds, Chicago Splash, The Chigago Sun Times, and The Examiner.

I was Stewart’s orchestrator and music copyist, and I did all the score prep for the premiere in Norfolk, VA at the Virginia Arts Festival in April 2014.
