An Ocena Called Owen (World Premiere)<br />
Several years ago, songwriter Dwight Schenk<br />
and composer Scott Good got together to<br />
make some music. A few “jams” and a typo<br />
led to their first collaboration – a tribute<br />
concert to the novels of Kurt Vonnegut.<br />
An Ocean Called Owen is their second<br />
collaboration.<br />
Owen lives deep down in the dirt, where the<br />
roots don’t reach and the sun don’t shine.<br />
This work, made for enjoyment for all ages,<br />
tells the tale of Owen searching for that<br />
something that keeps calling, taking him out<br />
of the ground, into the wide world. Through<br />
several encounters, Owen learns the valuable<br />
lesson that “You can’t move on without a<br />
push from the lessons of the past”.<br />
Scored for full symphony orchestra, it<br />
features narrator Scott Good (with some help<br />
from his tromb<strong>one</strong>), and Bramwell Tovey<br />
playing the 88’s. ■<br />
