@georgeguerrette
I create custom music and playback assets for theatre, live productions, and cruise ship shows.
What I'm looking for
I create custom music production for live stage, theatre, cruise ship shows, and guest entertainers through Guerrette Creative. I take projects from arrangement approval and DAW orchestration through music preparation, stems, click tracks, and final delivery.
At Deerhurst Resort, I served as Musical Director and Resident Composer/Arranger for eight years, managing schedules, rehearsals, cast coordination, and creative direction for live stage productions. I also spent roughly ten years performing in cruise ship theatre, which led to arranging work including custom orchestrations for Cunard's Big Band Night.
I've composed themes, underscoring, documentaries, network branding, and more than one hundred television commercials for organizations including PBS, CBC, BBC, and major multinational brands. I also manage remote orchestration and music-preparation teams while coordinating closely with production, stage, sound, and technical crews.
