Mason Bates has imaginatively transformed the way classical music is created. He is the composer of Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra, for animated film and live orchestra. A collaboration with Gary Rydstrom of Lucasfilm and Jim Capobianco of Aerial Contrivance, the work explores the connection between creativity and technology with the help of a magical Sprite, who flies through instruments as they are played. The commissioners of this work included the Dallas Symphony, along with other major symphonies, theaters and streaming services. Mason Bates also composed the Grammy-winning opera The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs.
