For Berklee's commencement concert, I arranged and conducted an ensemble performance of Jill Scott's "He Loves Me," performed live by 70 musicians for an audience of over 5,000, with Jill Scott herself in attendance. Having only two weeks to complete the entire arrangement and rehearsal, I focused on creating a lush, dynamic sound that honored the original while showcasing the ensemble's talents. Jill was dancing in the crowd and later thanked us personally for the rendition. This full performance was later shared widely on social media - reaching over 250k people.
