Tim Janis, who has conducted the Czech National Symphony, the Kwazulu Natal Philharmonic, and the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, has written musicals (produced at UNH), synthesized pop songs with vocals, scores for small independent films, and even country, jazz, acoustic, and hard rock arrangements. Owning a record label and studio, Tim Janis Ensemble, in Kennebunk, Maryland, has allowed the composer the freedom to continue interacting with musicians from many genres, the fruit of which is seen in his extensive discography. Janis has released over 15 solo compositions, among them Etain (1996), A Thousand Summers (2002), Across Two Oceans (2004), and Coming Home (2005), as well as many Christmas recordings. ~ Marisa Brown
