WPT Behind the Scenes -- Tim Janis

Tim Janis is an internationally acclaimed composer who has appeared in a number of public television specials and has worked with world-renowned artists, including Paul McCartney and Billy Joel.

He visited the Wisconsin Public Television studios this week, inviting 14 high school choirs from around the state to participate in his "Celebrate America" project.

Each choir joined Janis and his ensemble in songs written or arranged by Janis. The work will appear in a WPT special in 2010.

In this interview Janis talks about his work, the origins of the "Celebrate America" project and how public television fostered his own talent.
