I have a varied career that has me in front and behind the scenes. I am a Philadelphia/Atlantic City based keyboardist and composer/arranger. Also, I musically direct, produce and write for regional theatre, cabaret performers and casino shows, as well as serving as a member of the ASCAP/Disney Theatrical Musical Theatre Workshop in NYC.
My career has now taken an exciting turn as I am in the process of preparing two musical stage projects for the NYC theatre scene. You can follow the progress of the completed book musical "O Night Divine" with Book and Co-lyrics by Blaze Kelly Coyle, along with my other projects at www.leokirschner.com.
