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.
