ALBERT
         ACOSTA


For the past 20 years Albert Acosta (Incidental Music) has been composing music, designing, directing, and producing plays for the theater. His eclectic orchestral works include a Concerto for Two Spanish Guitars and Orchestra, a British Concerto, a ballet, Medusa, a Capriccio For Sitar And Orchestra, and two symphonic tone poems inspired by playwright Marty Martin's dramas, The Bishop, and The Tragedy of Edward The True. In collaboration with Mr. Martin, Mr. Acosta founded the Texas Museum of Natural History and created the popular Genesis Exhibit, the world's largest and most comprehensive traveling fossil timeline, which has been admired by millions throughout the world on its international tours. He has recently composed a new folk opera based on the lives of the legendary rival dinosaur hunters and pioneers of American paleontology, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh. Themes from his East West Concerto provide a basis for the music for The Dragon And The Pearl.
