Daniel Goldfarb: Why I Joined the Guild
Kirsten Childs: I am thrilled to be in the room with two of the people who are involved in this
roundtable, and I’m thrilled to be Skyping with the other person involved in this roundtable. I’m going to take the liberty of introducing you all.
First, Daryl Waters has orchestrated so many of the musicals I love including Shuffle Along, Bring in Da Noise Bring in Da Funk, and the dance orchestrations for Jelly’s Last Jam to name a few because the list goes on and on. I’ve also been fortunate enough to have had Daryl’s brilliant orchestrations for two of my shows.
