Today we were honored to welcome Jonathan Levi and Mel Marvin, frequent collaborators whose work spans has frequented Broadway. Mel Marvin is a celebrated composer with an extensive career writing music for dozens of musicals, plays, and operas, including "Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas," "Tintypes," and Broadway productions such as "Yentl." Jonathan Levi is a multifaceted novelist and lyricist whose collaborations with Mel have earned critical acclaim and helped shape several long-running theatrical works. Together, Jon and Mel led a songwriting masterclass for our students, including Zhije Zou and Luca Scoppetta-Stern (both pictured), offering thoughtful critiques, creative insight, and a glimpse into their collaborative process. We are grateful for their generosity, artistry, and the inspiration they shared with our community today! ------- @nyusteinhardt @nyusteinhardtmpap ------- #NYUScreenScoring #ComposersForum #SongwritingMasterclass #MusicForStageAndScreen #StudentSpotlight
