The composer and conductor Bryan Perri discusses his career and his new album Few Words, with Joseph Planta.


Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

Earlier this year, the composer and conductor Bryan Perri celebrated his debut album Few Words with a performance at Carnegie Hall. The concert featured a 13-piece orchestra, and noted Broadway vocalists including special guest Aaron Tveit. There will be concerts including in Palm Beach as part of the Glazer Hall Performing Arts Center’s inaugural 2026 season. Mr. Perri joins me now to talk about Few Words. I’ll get him to talk about this album and the compositions on it. There are a few words, but through the variety of music, like neoclassical, rock, electronic music, ambient music, there is a reverence for the instruments. I’ll ask about the sounds on this album and the feelings that the music he’s composed has evoked in him and listeners. Bryan Perri is an award-winning music supervisor, orchestrator, arranger, music director, and conductor. He’s worked on some of the most widely recognised Broadway musicals of the twenty-first century: Jagged Little Pill, Wicked, Chaplin, Next to Normal, among many others. He was most recently music supervisor and conductor of Almost Famous. He was nominated for a Grammy Award for the world premiere cast recording of Stephen Schwartz’s Snapshots. He holds a Bachelor of Music from NYU in Vocal Performance, as well as a Master’s Degree in Music from Cincinnati Conservatory of Music in Orchestral Conducting. He is a founding member of ACT of CT, where his husband Daniel C. Levine is its artistic director, and serves as Resident Musical Supervisor. Visit www.bperri.com for more. The album is available on Apple Music and Spotify. We taped this interview two weeks ago, with Bryan joining me from Ridgefield, Connecticut. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Bryan Perri; Mr. Perri, good morning.
