Composer Ron Jones (Family Guy, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Mission: Impossible…) started the first Ravel Study Group in L.A. in 2008 as a way to bring composers together face-to-face, share ideas and study one of the greatest masterpieces of orchestration; Maurice Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe Suites. Ravel study groups can be found in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Tokyo, Toronto and now New Orleans. The group is for anyone, from musicians and composers to fans of music, but are especially valuable to creatives: performing artists, improvisers, mixing and audio engineers, producers, filmmakers, directors, showrunners, music supervisors, sound editors, sound designers, advertising professionals and post-production folks - to learn how music works, and how to communicate your musical desires to composers, etc. It is not a theoretical analysis, but we’re building an encyclopedia of techniques that we can use in our projects, and hanging out with like-minded people. Meetings are free. Contact us to find out more and to reserve your spot.
