MUSIC DIRECTION:
Create a world of sound.
As interpretive artists, we have the joy of bringing someone else’s music and words to life through our own unique voices. As a music director, I get to help shape that journey—guiding performers, supporting storytelling, and (best of all) doing it all from the best seat in the house: the podium.
Whether I’m developing new work, leading an orchestra, or coaching singers on their roles, I believe music direction is all about collaboration. It’s not just about keeping time—it’s about helping each artist shine and creating a cohesive, compelling soundscape for the audience.
My background as a singing actor helps me understand what performers need from a music director. I bring a fresh perspective to each project and genuinely love the challenge of making music across genres feel alive and connected.
“He had the power to control the room and obtain the results and sound he wanted from our company, while still keeping a light and enjoyable air at all times. His innate kindness and ability to understand, comfort, and support our actors put them at ease and built their confidence, producing an improvement in them that was very much noticeable over the rehearsal process.”

“Curtis brings a positive energy to any room that he works in. He is patient, collaborative, and extremely talented. Working with him as the accompanist and vocal coach for my musical theatre audition class was where I felt most grateful to have him. He was always up to the task of helping performers find the right cut or feel for their music, he provided thoughtful feedback, and he was a real team player in the room.”
BEN HOLTZMAN

“Beyond being just the nicest guy in the world, Curtis was enthusiastic, proficient, and professional with every member of my team, from cast to the band to producers. He brought my Lincoln Center concert to amazing heights!”
ROSS BAUM
Composer
“From his expert knowledge of material to meticulous attention to detail, he is guaranteed to execute any performance with beauty and accuracy. He is one of the kindest professionals I know and so easy to work with. From musicals to choirs, Curtis is number one!”
MARISSA HECKER

“A very special mention must go to musical director and pianist Curtis Reynolds, who does an absolutely amazing job with the musical requirements from the onstage grand piano.”
