Onstage Interview with Andrew Mcgregor (Live at BBC Radio 3)

A winning piece of Baroque Remixed Composition competition (UK National) held by BBC Concert Orchestra.

Anne Dudley (Oscar winning composer, BBC Panel) comments: "Marisa's piece was probably the most original of all the pieces. She's taken a very sort of introverted approach to the material. And although it looked almost on the page quite bland, it was extraordinary how it came to live and it sort of achieved this perfect miniature character. Parts of it reminded me of Takemitsu, parts of it reminded me of Stravinsky's near classical movement, and I think it would be a wonderful contrast and a really quite interesting take on the Baroque."

Performed by BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Charles Hazlewood at The Roundhouse, London, March 11, 2013.
Along with programme of Thomas Ades, Matthew Herbert, Will Gregory, Anne-Marie O'Farrell and Stravinsky's Pulcinella, Marisa was the youngest composer among the featured composers within the programme. This is also the first time she had ever heard a concert performance of her composition. 
The performance was live broadcasted on BBC Radio 3 and available at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01676qy

Rumble to the Past - BBC Concert Orchestra&Charles Hazlewood, live at Roundhouse, London

original song and arrangement for musical Semua Unik Semua Istimewa by D'artbeat
Performed at Gedung Kesenian Jakarta on March 1-2, March 13, Jogjakarta on July 13, 2013.


Menjadi Dirimu (from musical Semua Unik Semua Istimewa)

Indonesian born composer in 1986. 
She obtained her Master of Music degree in composition at Royal Holloway University of London under tuition of Mark Bowden and Helen Grime in 2013. 

Sharon holds a Bachelor and Professional degree in Pharmacy from University of Indonesia in 2009, and Master Certificate in Arranging and Orchestration from Berklee College of Music in 2012. 

Her perfect-pitch ear has helped her in music making. She has been a pianist-accompanist in both classical music and improvisation-based for 19 years now. She is also an aspiring conductor. 
Her music influences varied from Stravinsky and the Russian composers, Ravel, Debussy, Avant-Garde composers, Jazz music (Randy Newman particularly), Pop, Church and Gospel music, Acapella music by Neri Per Caso and Indonesian indigenous music especially from Java, Jakarta and Bali. She loves arranging and enjoys songwriting too.

This playlist showcases her some of the music before and while studying composition at Berklee in period of 2008-early 2012. There has been a tremendous change in her composition style in 2012 that moves away from this kind of music and more into a contemporary classical genre. It is fascinating to look back to these tracks and realize how the music now has grown so much. Many of her recent works remain unpublished.

Her debut as composer starts off with BBC Concert Orchestra on a Baroque Remixed Project where she became the one of two finalists of this composition competition for postgraduate students/graduates throughout UK. Her second orchestral piece "Rumble to the Past" (an arrangement of Purcell's Rondeau from Abdelazer Suite) was performed in Baroque Remixed Concert at Roundhouse London, March 11, 2013 by the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Charles Hazlewood. 
This sold-out concert also performs the work of Thomas Ades, Will Gregory, Matthew Herbert and Stravinsky's Pulcinella and was live-broadcasted by BBC Radio 3.
