artyjeffrey 20 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I haven't met many famous people, which is wierd since I live in California.

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Walt Harris in 1999. It was in Pitt Stadium, Pittsburgh PA, when he was Pitt's football coach. That was long before he left for Stanford, which didn't end so good for him.I also met Greg Lee, he was the host on the PBS Carmen Sandiego show.I also got a signed letter from Bill Clinton congratulating me for participating in the Geography Bee. Had I advanced further, I'd have gotten the chance to meet Alex Trebek. I wasn't smart enough. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 390 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 John Williams, on a couple of occasions.First time was in New York in 2004, where I met him briefly in the Green room after rehearsals (which I'd been able to attend, and which was my first time seeing Williams conduct. Just the orchestra, the Maestro, some Gorfaine-Schwartz Agency representatives and myself).On my way backstage, I shared an elevator with Barbara Bonney, who also stopped by to greet Williams. I didn't know what to say to her, so I remained completely silent for what was an embarrasingly long elevator trip.The second time I met Williams, was more special. I was able to give hime a piece I'd written for solo horn, based on a musical transcription of the name "John Williams" (aligning the alphabet with a scale from A to A three and a half times).He seemed very delighted at this, and looked at the piece, and complimented me on my work! It was one of the happiest and proudest moments of my life!I had some composition lessons with John Corigliano, who is an incredible composer, teacher and person, and also tremendously generous!I studied with Richard Danielpour for two years, and was his assistant for one of them. Danielpour is another phenomenal artist, and a great, great man and a great friend and mentor.Through him, I met many of the luminaries of American classical music, like Thomas Hampson, the Guarneri Quartet, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
