Bizet's Carmen (2020)
The idea to re-arrange Carmen for jazz orchestra was born out of a commission that went sideways. Despite the original project falling through, it produced 8 arrangements of the classical Carmen suites for orchestra. Reimagined in title and context, these arrangements were released as a special YouTube video project, and can be viewed here.
