Bio
Simon co-orchestrated Spring Awakening with composer Duncan Sheik (it won 8 Tony awards including "Best Orchestrations"!). This one will run & run. An amazing show - not to be missed. The first 20,000 copies of Ian Brown's CD "The World is yours" featured a bonus CD of orchestral-only mixes of Simon's arrangements. Simon performed live on stage with the Bays at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in 2008 where the orchestral parts were written live as the band played. YouTube link below. See it to believe it! .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
