For the past ten years- musical director for the Academy Awards’ Sci-Tech division. He also enjoys working with young musicians as he has been on the faculty at Cal-State Los Angeles, The Musician’s Institute in Hollywood, as well as currently working in conjunction with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Educational Program developing high school orchestras and jazz bands. Bart’s forte however, is constantly searching for a new approach to his instrument. A well rounded composer and bassist, he has also played with his local symphony.
Bart has developed a unique voice in the music world today. This is clearly evident in his recordings and becomes even more dynamic in his live performances.
