Wow - amazing job, @saxguychris ! I can’t wait t Wow - amazing job, @saxguychris ! I can’t wait to hear the entire performance of Skylark Lullaby May 3rd! It sounds really beautiful! 🎉🎶🎷 Repost from @saxguychris • This is probably my crowning achievement for the last few months: being able to perform and produce this virtual performance of @jenbellormusic’s “Skylark Lullaby.” I have to thank @jefeboehl for really getting the ball rolling on this project, Dr. Bellor for working with me to make sure everything about the music was done to the score and as imagined (which I’m sure this is a bit of a re-imagination), @saxophonelucas for helping me and the entire UR studio out with a solid bass saxophone track, and everyone in the UR studio who took part in this project - Jeff, @condor_in_flight, @eman4794, @travis_woliung, and Rowan (who is only a freshman music minor and performed her part well every step of the way). This tested my audio engineering skills, my video editing skills, and my leadership skills; and I couldn’t be happier with what I put together. Stay tuned, for this will also premiere on my birthday this coming Monday, May 3! #saxophone #saxophoneensemble #virtualproject #virtualmusic #virtualperformance #virtual #music #sax #saxophone🎷 #collaboration #saxensemble #ensemble #virtualensemble #composer #composerlife

🎶🎻🎺🥁🎉 Repost from @unlvmusic • UN 🎶🎻🎺🥁🎉 Repost from @unlvmusic • UNLV Composition Division professor Dr. Jennifer Bellor's work "Sky Bells," commissioned by the Henderson Symphony Orchestra, will be premiered at the orchestra's upcoming live/ streamed concert on Saturday, April 24 at 8:00 p.m. The concert, titled HOPE, includes music selections celebrating the positive, recognizing what needs to be improved and looking toward the future. Also on the program: Huang Ruo's "Becoming Another," and Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony 6- Pastoral. From Dr. Bellor: "My inspiration comes from many places, visual elements related to memories, dreams, art, animation, even poetry.  Sky Bells was inspired by a hike I took on the Cathedral Lake Trail in Aspen, Colorado. I remember the blue lake sparkling in the sunlight enclosed by the mountains.  I went back to a piece I had written in 2009 about this hike, Celestial Surroundings for brass, pipe organ and percussion, and found even more inspiration to build upon my original composition. The initial brass theme from Celestial Surroundings gave life to this work which I called Sky Bells. "This piece shows something vast and unchanging juxtaposed against the tumultuousness of passing time. Imagine a large gothic cathedral on top of clouds, bells ringing, remaining firm and rooted. Yet, as time passes, light turns to darkness and back to light, everything in the periphery grows and dies and continues the same cycle, but the cathedral remains unaffected and the bells keep ringing.” The concert is sold out for live attendance, which is limited due to COVID-19 safety protocols- but you can enjoy the livestream here: https://www.cityofhenderson.com/Home/Components/Calendar/Event/473/16?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=event&utm_campaign=hope #UNLVMusic @unlvcomposition @jenbellormusic @unlvfinearts #HendersonSymphonyOrchestra #LiveHSO #Composition #Creativity #NewMusic #Hope #Inspiration #Creativity #ProudOfOurFaculty

There are many exciting segments on the show (new music interviews, performances, discussions - both serious and fun ones), and I am beyond blessed to have such a fantastic team of students who worked together with me to produce this show.

Grateful I got to see Chick Corea's Elektric Band Grateful I got to see Chick Corea's Elektric Band a few years ago at the Blue Note. "Crystal Silence" with Gary Burton on vibes has been a huge influence to me as a composer. Rest in Peace, Chick Corea. . . . . #chickcorea #inspiration #composer
