ranging from Claude DeBussy to Ray Charles, Bob Seger, Richard

Carpenter, Elton John and Jerry Lee Lewis would inspire him on to

the Boston Pops, Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Duke Ellington

Orchestra, and has performed, musical directed and collaborated with a

coterie of distinguished performers, including: Angela Lansbury, Tom

Jones, Rita Coolidge, Jason Alexander and Sam Harris; the latter for

whom he’s acted as musical director and collaborative partner for over

20 years, which helped him earn the coveted recognition of “Musical

Director of the Year” from BroadwayWorld.com. In addition to composing

his own original music, for which he has had the opportunity to

record and release six albums. Schroeder has also composed music for a

variety of television series, films and musicals. He’s appeared on TV, acting
