2012 PERFORMANCE EXCLUSIVE: 'One Night With Janis Joplin' - US tour starts summer 2012. Further details as they become available will be available on this site.
Len is also currently composing a score for a GENOMA MUSIC PROJECT (the process of converting the first letters of the four nucleotide RNA sequences into music).
Recent work includes 'One Night WIth Janis Joplin' as Music Director and Arranger. Portland Center Stage hosted this world premiere celebrating the life of one of rock ‘n roll’s greatest legends earlier this year in Portland, Oregon, to audiences totalling over 24,000. 'One Night With Janis Joplin' explores Joplin’s music, words, art and diverse influences. Randy Johnson’s unprecedented access to the Joplin Family archives has enabled him to give audiences a profound immersion into this blues-belting trailblazer’s world. Portland Center Stage partnered with the Janis Joplin Estate, and Jeff Jampol of Jampol Artist Management to present this unique theatrical experience. Stay tuned for the next chapter - coming very soon to a city near you!
