About Us
The Sound & Fury concert series was founded by Christian Dubeau & Christine Lee. The purpose is simple: to build a community of composers and performers in L.A. and promote exciting new music.
Christian Dubeau is an L.A. based composer and pianist whose compositions have been described as "transcendently beautiful" (The Highlander Newspaper) and "majestic" (Sequenza21). His music has been heard at festivals such as SPLICE (2016), and at distinguished concert series such as UnSUNG (2016) and has been played by members of the Grammy nominated L.A. Percussion Quartet, the What's Next Ensemble, the Panic Duo, pianist Gary Barnett, and by several other renowned musicians and ensembles. He is the recipient of three Gluck Fellowships for the Arts. Recent commissions include a guitar concerto for the Orchestra Society of Philadelphia. As a pianist, he frequently performs his own music in public, and has premiered works by other composers in various cities. He also played keyboards with a rock band called Hauk for many years, recording six studio albums, and touring throughout the United States. Christian holds BAs in music and theatre from the University of Southern California, an MFA in music from UC Irvine, and a PhD in Digital Composition from UC Riverside. He has studied composition and attended master clases with many known composers including Tania Leon, Morten Lauridsen, Veronika Krausas, Michael Dessen, Tim Labor and Ian Dicke. He has also studied piano with renowned pianist Norman Krieger. Christian’s music is heavily inspired by the natural world and current environmental issues. He recently completed a large collection of preludes (for piano and electronics) about environmental issues in L.A’s San Gabriel Mountain range. In addition to a vast array of electro-acoustic music, he has written for a variety of instruments, including voice, various choirs, different chamber ensembles, fixed media electronics, solo instruments, and orchestra. He has also written film music and dance music. Christian teaches piano, composition, and theory to private students, and teaches group keyboard classes in Southern California elementary schools. He has also held part-time teaching positions at UC Irvine and UC Riverside.

Christian Dubeau
Christine Lee
is an eclectic and stylistic composer. She composes music and writes songs for different media. Her composing style ranges from small acoustic pieces to large hybrid orchestral music. She also uses ambient sounds through an electronic medium for her music. She started out playing keyboard for a rock band called "Wiretap In My Ear" at various venues when she was in Korea. It was during this time that she found an interest in exploring different types of sound, which led her to study music (Intermedia Music Technology) at University of Oregon. While continuing her studies, the relationship between visual media and music sparked her interest in traditional classical writing as well as electronic and contemporary writing. She recently completed her certificate program in Film Scoring at UCLA Extension. She continues to expand her musical skills, experience, and knowledge at UC Riverside.
