The Heart and Sound of Out of the Blue

MAESTRO
DAVID KALMAN - composer, conductor and musical director.
David has a particular passion for Sondheim and a love of musical theatre, in general. He has conducted and developed orchestrations for Out of the Blue's major productions including JC Superstar, Gypsy, Les Miserables, Into the Woods and Godspell. In 2003 he will be musical director for TOMMY while continuing work on NED KELLY.
REPETITEUR
One of the most arduous jobs in musical theatre belongs to the repetiteur who effectively recreates the orchestration of the show on piano during rehearsals. GEM HARDING (foreground) and GREG AGAR have made significant contributions to Out of the Blue in this role. On more than one occasion GEM played the entire score of "Les Miserables" during rehearsals for the show - a feat worthy of the highest praise. Three cheers for repetiteurs!

MUSICIANS
Out of the Blue aims to develop skills in young performers by providing opportunities for them to play together
and also work alongside professionals.

The standard of musicianship is exceptionally high in Out of the Blue and can be attributed to the consistency in the make up
of the orchestra from production to production, which is largely a sign of the measure of esteem that all our musicians have for
musical director, David Kalman.

Many of the musicians who play with Out of the Blue have been involved in the organisation since its inaugural production,
JC Superstar, in 2000.
