The students and alumni of The Juilliard School perform annually at Texas State University at Evan's Auditorium under the direction of Wayne Oquin. This performance from March 10, 2011 features the choreography of Yara Travesio and the dancing of Lucy Ford Baker. Watersong, composed by Oquin in 2008, is written for violin solo, vibraphone/marimba, harp, piano, and string orchestra. Here, Oquin conducts the combined musicians of Juilliard and Texas State. The violin soloist is Yo-Yo Fann; the pianist is Aaron Wunsch.

This video was filmed and edited by API Productions.

  • Soundtrack scouts: check this out. 'Watersongs' is memorably cinematic. The ethereal arpeggios back a thoughtful -yet precisely articulated- theme. The music practically calls out for visualization. The professional video editing, choreography, and graphics of this video of a live performance demonstrate how well 'Watersongs' would suit film.

  • Wow- A piece of pure beauty! The music composition is so heavenly and breathtakingly played. The media on the scrim adds much vibrancy to the visual and of course the dancer Lucy is fantastic also. Wayne this is Excellent!!! YEY* Thanks for sharing. and the filming is fantastic also esp. 6:13-34*

  • I was fortunate to see this performance live and I am now thrilled that such a high quality video has been posted. The music performance, choreography, dancing, lighting, and video wall were all simply amazing! Watersong was fresh, original, and very sexy! Bravo!

  • In this time when mediocrity is the accepted standard, it is a welcome distinct difference to hear this high quality performance of beautiful music that is so perfectly choreographed. Superior indeed!
