ORCHESTRATING EARLY SUCCESS
JoAnne Harris ’06 was the lead orchestrator and the conductor of a live recording session for the 2016 film “The Infiltrator,” starring Bryan Cranston and Diane Kruger. She says it’s been one of the most rewarding projects of her career, which has included composing music for short films, working as a music associate on a Broadway production, conducting at Lincoln Center, studying at Juilliard and composing music for a theater production in China. “Concordia was a great launching pad for me,” she says. “I was inspired by the professors in the music department; their hunger and passion for reaching a mastery of music themselves created such a wonderful environment for learning and creating.” ◊
