Danny recently completed the 2016 BMI Conductor's Workshop, taught by conductor/composer Lucas R
Danny Cocke was one of 8 composers selected worldwide to take part in Lucas Richman's masterclass, hosted by BMI.
From Billboard.com:
"This year’s six-day workshop concluded Aug. 27 with the eight participants each conducting a 32-piece orchestra at The Bridge Recording Studio in Glendale, Calif. While not every composer chooses to conduct his or her own music, Richman feels that it's vital that a composer “stand on the podium and feel comfortable to properly convey the music they have written” at least once."
