right now is the most difficult score I’ve ever done,” said Bhasin, Assistant
Professor of Music and Director of Bands. “There are several different methods

Bhasin has led wind and jazz ensembles at various universities and been featured as a trumpet soloist on National Public Radio, Detroit PBS-TV, the International Computer Music Conference, and at the Chautauqua Music Festival.

“The new digital world offers lots of new avenues for actors to explore. It’s
