Kyle Wiley Pickett, who left Juneau in 2014 to conduct the Topeka Symphony and the Springfield, Missouri Symphony, also found time to travel to Prague to record \u201cPhineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony.\u201d<\/p>\n

Featuring the talent of Grammy-winning opera superstars Isabel Leonard and Nathan Gunn along with composer \u201cDoctor Noize,\u201d a.k.a. Cory Cullinan, \u201cPhineas McBoof Crashes the Symphony\u201d is billed as \u201ca full-length, screwball musical comedy complete with fast, zany repartee, where the leading characters have over-the-top dramatic ranges combined with vocal chops that open one\u2019s ears to what real singing with resonance and amazing projection is all about.\u201d The album is set to release on July 15.<\/p>\n

Kyle Wiley Pickett traveled to Prague with Cullinan to record the music with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.<\/p>\n

During Pickett\u2019s tenure with the Juneau Symphony, Cullinan came to Juneau several times to perform his live \u201cDoctor Noize\u201d symphony show. It was through those performances that Cullinan and Pickett together developed the show into what would become the album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
