Seymour "Red" Press

Musical Coordinator

In the early 1970s, Mr. Press transitioned into his longtime role as a music contractor or coordinator. Comparable to hiring managers, music contractors do not necessarily play in the orchestra and are not always present at every performance, but every musician in said orchestra goes through the contractor, who hires—and fires—as needed. They help to create the unique musical blend of a production, and are critical to the sound of a shows score.
