GARY FRY - Composer/arranger
The Emmy-Award-winning composer Gary Fry has achieved notable success in the fields of both symphonic and commercial music. As composer/arranger for the popular Welcome, Yule! concerts of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for 19 years, Fry has become the most-performed living composer by that renowned ensemble. He has written over a hundred works for them, as well as for the Charlotte, Dallas, and Colorado orchestras, the Boston, Philadelphia, and New York pops orchestras, the American Jazz Philharmonic, and other regional orchestras. His Christmas arrangements and compositions are now performed by scores of orchestras around the world annually. As a conductor, Fry has led performances of his music in such celebrated venues as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the White House, the United Nations General Assembly Hall, Avery Fisher Philharmonic Hall, the Mormon Tabernacle, Alice Tully Hall, and Chicago’s Orchestra Hall, Harris Theater, Pick-Staiger Hall, and Pritzker Pavilion.
Fry has composed for film, television, live theater, ballet, and more than 2500 radio and television commercials for McDonald’s, Sears, Kellogg’s, and hundreds of other major national advertisers, and received a 2006 Emmy Award for his advertising work for Chicago’s CBS affiliate WBBM-TV. Air travelers hear Fry’s electronic version of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue when passing through the United Airlines terminal at Chicago’s O’Hare airport. Recently his arrangement of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah was featured on the Netflix series Sense8, and the PBS nature special To the Ends of the Earth was scored entirely with Fry’s orchestrations.
He is currently composer-in-residence for the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, and artistic consultant to the Dallas Symphony and the Colorado Symphony, and continues to do commercial and corporate work through his company High Touch Music, Inc.
