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

Trying to help my health somewhat with growing microgreens at home. Not sure if this will work. But can't hurt to try! :) If you have any microgreen urban farming tips for me (I live in western new york) then please PLEASE help me out. I really suck at gardening.

There are many things that I don't do, and typically acting is one of them. However, I enjoy doing voice acting for animation. What's nice about voice acting is that you don't really have to look like anything in particular to play a voice, and since I was a kid I enjoyed coming up with weird and goofy voices. So as for being the lead actress in a film, yeah, never going to happen, but I do enjoy playing strange characters behind the scenes. 

So taking this week to work on my animated science fiction film Spiritus! I am using Moviestorm animation. Have been having some shadow issues this week, but that's okay. I have been using final cut pro and MOTION to add effects and do a tight edit.

Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra Christmas Pops Concert a Welcome Joy This Holiday Season - Buffalo New York After a year of vitriol, this weekend's Buffalo Philharmonic Christmas Pops concerts, conducted by the lively Maestro John Morris Russell, are a wonderful occasion to remind each other of goodwill, brotherhood, and basic humanity.  With a program full of Christmas carol favorites (with a twist) and the sweeping cinematic score from the Polar Express, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, accompanied by the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus and the Buffalo Girl Choir, performs brilliantly. For a moment the audience feels they have been transported to a big Hollywood stage. Local legend Mike Randall narrates the Polar Express with gusto , and you would be hardpressed not to find someone that is touched by this emotional tale of the Christmas spirit. The BPO Holiday Pops Concert continues this weekend, on Saturday and Sunday.  Find out more:  https://bpo.org/event/john-...
