Program Alum on Team that Wins a "Creative Arts Emmy Award"

Music Industry program alum, Bill Higley, was part of a team that recently won an "Outstanding Sound Mixing" award for the Amazon Studios show, "Mozart in the Jungle". Bill is an ADR mixer for the show, but emphasized that the award included re-recording mixers Andy D'Addario and Gary Gegan, fellow ADR mixer Chris Navarro, as well as production mixer, Thomas Varga.

It is always exciting and special to see the phenomenal work that program graduates are doing in so many forms. He told us that it has been a pleasure to work with the team and he was honored to have been a part of the award. We thank Bill for sharing his accomplishment, and look forward to continuing to follow him and the successes of other alumni!
