60 minute zoom composition/orchestration lesson with Helix Collective music director Phil Popham About Phil - Phil’s classical composition career bloomed quickly after the premiere of his work Canto Judaica in 2003. The popularity of the piece led to several commissions, including his critically acclaimed trio The Pharmacy: 6 Medications for Flute, Oboe, and Piano. Upon it’s release on Helix Collective’s debut album All In, the American Record Guide stated, “this is a piece any group would love to play, and any audience would love to hear.” This led to the commissioning of his works Mauna Kea, The Mixer Dances, Altazimuth and The Voices of Gabriel. In 2010, he helped pioneer the club classical genre which specifically fuses classical and popular styles for high-octane performances in bars and night clubs. This, in turn, led to his appointment as Composer-in-Residence of the Tahoe Chamber Music Society and Educational Composer for the West Michigan Symphony. These positions resulted in The Biggest Little Dances, Welcome to Tahoe!, and the repeatedly sold-out and celebrated Click, Clack, Moosic programs. In 2011, Phil relocated to Los Angeles to pursue careers in film and television music. Since his arrival, he has written scores for eight films, was a winning composer in the 2017 Los Angeles Live Score Film Festival. Despite his focus on media music, Phil still writes for the concert stage, including winning the 2016 innersOUndscapes Competition with his work 5 Food Trucks and Helix Collective’s renowned mixed musical-dramatic program The Cocktail Stories. In 2016, Phil founded Phat Yak Records to promote and distribute the club classical genre. The label has released five albums, including PapaPhat’s Oboeliscious Phunktacular which exclusively features Phil’s music composed for oboe. His latest work, Riding on Dubs for flute and electronics was composed for Clubbing for Classical Musicians author and flutist Sarah Robinson and was premiered on her 2018 national tour. Dr. Popham holds a doctorate in music from the University of Southern California.
