Robert WendelPops Conductor
In addition, Robert has been conductor and arranger for Carol Channing, Rita Moreno and other stars, and has written for musical theater, symphony orchestra, PBS-TV, and the 1993 Presidential Inauguration. He created and conducted an entire concert saluting the cartoon music of Hanna-Barbera Productions for the San Bernardino Symphony, and an evening of "Two Centuries of American Music" as the first conductor to take the podium of the New Britain Symphony upon the retirement of its Music Directer after 38 years. His "Fanfare For Freedom" has already become staple in the symphonic Memorial Day and July 4th repertory, and his arrangements are frequently heard at Cincinnati Pops Concerts and were featured on several of their TV broadcasts. Two of his Christmas arrangements have been recorded by the Cincinnati Pops with Erich Kunzel for Telarc. Robert's "Commemoration," performed at a memorial concert remembering the Challenger Astronauts and played on the Kennedy Space Center launch pad has also been adopted as almost a memorial "anthem" in concerts across the USA after the events of 9-11-2001. It has been recorded on ABC Classics by the Tasmanian Symphony, and was featured live coast-to-coast in the 2006 National Memorial Day Concert on PBS to dedicate the WW II Monument, and again on the 2009 concert as part of a tribute to Abraham Lincoln. As composer, arranger and publisher, he has supplied Pops music to the top 350 orchestras in America, Europe, Canada, Southeast Asia, and Australia, and his work has been featured NBC's "Today" program, and in commercials for QVC and Wal-Mart. He was also called upon as editor, arranger, and orchestrator for numerous Leroy Anderson works, some being recorded for the first time, for the Naxos complete Leroy Anderson Centennial recordings conducted by Leonard Slatkin. Originally from Bridgeport, CT and an alumnus of Fairfield Prep and The University Of Connecticut, Robert now makes his home in New York City. In his spare time, he is a tornado chaser, an amateur astronomer, a telescope maker, and a pyrotechnics afficionado.
