Composer

James Lorusso studied composition, as well as counterpoint, harmony, and arranging, with Irwin Stahl, at the Music Conservatory of Westchester. He was among a select group of students in a special seminar that spanned the course of several years and covered many aspects of music as well as the above-stated disciplines.

Years later, he furthered his studies in arranging and composition with another renowned composer, Ruth Schonthal.
