Andrew Wilk, a seasoned producer, director, and conductor, has found a new stage for his talents in Connecticut. After a dynamic career in television and music production, he is stepping back into the world of live orchestral performance with “Broadway Scores,” an upcoming concert featuring top Broadway talent and the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra. Set at the historic Palace Theater, this event marks a personal and professional milestone for Wilk, who recently relocated to Stamford and is eager to blend his passion for music with community engagement.
Wilk’s journey through the entertainment industry began in television, where his musical expertise quickly set him apart. With formal training in piano, guitar, and percussion, along with a deep knowledge of orchestral scores, he rose swiftly at CBS and later across major media platforms. His career included leadership roles at Sony Music and National Geographic Channel, but his heart remained with live performance. The spark reignited after attending a film-and-symphony event in Waterbury, which inspired him to create a concert celebrating two decades of modern Broadway hits. Collaborating with longtime musical partner Gerard Chiusano, Wilk curated a program that reimagines beloved showstoppers with fresh orchestrations.
The upcoming concert is more than just a performance—it’s a celebration of artistry, heritage, and community spirit. Held at the beautifully restored Palace Theater, known for its stunning Art Deco design and acoustics, the evening will feature eight celebrated Broadway performers backed by a full symphony orchestra. Wilk hopes the event not only entertains but also supports vital arts education initiatives. This return to the podium reflects his lifelong dedication to music and underscores the power of pursuing dreams, no matter the detours life may bring.
Artistic expression thrives when nurtured by passionate individuals like Wilk, who bridge worlds between high-caliber performance and local enrichment. His commitment to excellence and community uplift serves as a reminder that creativity knows no bounds—and when given the right stage, it can inspire generations.
