COMPOSER SABRINA PENA YOUNG | MUSIC TECHNOLOGY | FILM | CLASSICAL | OPERA

So after long last I put together a short cinematic film music reel of some of my music. It's a little on the short side, but I thought it was time I had something up on my website. Next I need to work on a movie reel and an animation reel. The last one I made is probably fifteen years old.
