Lynn Beck, Clay Stevenson and students collaborated with Winston-Salem Symphony musicians to record James Stephenson’s “Fanfare – Light from Shadows" providing a dynamic soundtrack for community service award winner John Beck’s documentary video.
During the spring semester, Lecturer in Music Lynn Beck produced a recording of a composition that she and her husband, percussionist John Beck, commissioned in 2017.
On June 14, the recorded fanfare served as the soundtrack for a documentary video featured at the League of American Orchestras national conference, where John Beck was one of five to receive the 2018 Ford Musician Award for Excellence in Community Service.
The video is also posted on the league’s website. https://americanorchestras.org/conducting-artistic-programs/the-ford-musician-awards/videos-the-league-s-ford-musicians-in-action-2018.html
Funding for the recording project was provided by Elon College, the College of Arts and Sciences. Performers include Winston-Salem Symphony members Anita Cirba and Ken Wilmot – trumpet, Bob Campbell – horn, Brian French – trombone, Matt Ransom – tuba, and John Beck – percussion.
