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.
