Webster A. Young is a prolific composer for opera, ballet, orchestra, piano, solo strings, and solo guitar. His musical works can be described as tonal and lyrical. Young received advice on opera composition from Samuel Barber in the year before he died. Among Webster Young''s composition teachers was Charles Jones (a close friend of Darius Milhaud). Young''s family is related to Otto Harbach, the prolific Broadway lyricist of the 1920''3 and 30''s who wrote "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes". Young was trained in composition at the Juilliard School, the Manhattan School of Music, the Aspen Music Festival, and the University of California, Berkeley and Davis campuses. As a performer he is a pianist and conductor. Young''s music publishers are: https://www.tradebit.com and https://www.tradebit.com (piano music, opera arias, violin, guitar)

From 1985-92 Webster Young was the most productive American ballet composer, writing the music for ten ballets, many of which earned awards and high praise from critics.
Eric Hyrst (1929-96) began his career in the 1940''s as a leading dancer with the Sadler''s Wells Ballet of England. In London he worked under Massine. He came to the USA in the 1950''s and danced under Balanchine at New York City Ballet. After touring with Alicia Alonso, he became leading dancer and choreographer with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. His choreography was acclaimed from the beginning of his career, and he went on to create over 150 original ballets, including collaborations with 12 contemporary composers. His ballet Premiere Classique was the inaugural for the opening of the Place des Arts in Montreal.
The Hyrst-Young collaboration was the subject of a documentary film entitled "Two for Ballet", seen on 64 PBS stations from 1991-93. The film, narrated by ballet historian David Vaughan, focuses on their process of creating five ballets and is available at the Documentary Channel online; available for educational distribution through Cinema Guild, Inc., New York.
