The Heroes & Villains Reimagined Concert, held on April 17th, 2025 at the Berklee Performance Center, is a show organized by the Contemporary Writing and Production (CWP) department at Berklee College of Music, featuring original compositions and arrangements by students. The show explores the concept of "heroes" and "villains" from diverse perspectives, with pieces ranging from scores like "The Hanging Tree" from The Hunger Games to "007 Medley" from the James Bond series.

As a student in the CWP major, I contributed an original composition titled "Every Moment," inspired by my parents, my real-life heroes. Collaborating with a faculty member on the arrangement of my piece was an invaluable experience. It not only advanced my writing and arranging skills but also reinforced the importance of patience and consistency in the creative process. I was also given the opportunity to conduct the ensemble on the day of the show.
