The Passion of John Debney

Composer John Debney is pictured right conducting his Passion Symphony at the Crystal Cathedral in September as a benefit for Hurricane Katrina relief. In December, Debney was also honored by Los Angeles radio station K-Mozart at a reception at TV Authority, an electronics and fine arts gallery in Santa Monica. Films scored by Debney played on dozens of state-of-the-art home theater systems. Gary Hollis of K-Mozart moderated a discussion featuring Debney and Dreamer director John Gatins, where they discussed the process of scoring films, including their collaboration on Dreamer.
