Bird Songs of Opera, 2025
Madeleine Tran, soprano, performing Chacun le sait, Le fille du regiment, Donizetti at Leach Botanical Garden.
An outdoor recital that reimagines iconic opera arias as the songs of Oregon birds accompanied by accordion, produced and imagined by Renegade Opera. Original accordion arrangements by me. Check out this playlist for more videos of this year’s production!
Arrangements
One of the most exciting and rewarding pieces of theater I have been fortunate enough to be a part of was Third Rail Repertory Theater’s production of The Music Man by Meredith Wilson in 2022.
One of the unique challenges was finding a way to arrange a lot of the orchestral reduction for accordion. Showcased here is the “It’s You” medley featured in one of the final scene changes of the show, arranged by me entirely for accordion.
