Radiohead at the Kings Theater in Brooklyn. He has composed dozens of choral works, and has conducted the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh in concert twice, most recently in January 2018.

Will Post (William Prokopow), vocalist Will Post (Prokopow), is a singer, composer, producer, and pianist from Chicago, Illinois. Post started playing piano and writing songs when he was four years old, and through the years has honed his taste and talents in nearly every way possible, from orchestras to a cappella groups, Carnegie Hall to Warped Tour, and everywhere in between. Post feels most at home when combining his classical sensibilities with the ethos of the current moment, creating work that serves the now and launches itself into the future, toward eternity. Post creates mind bending live shows using projection mapped visuals that feel like a modern day Fantasia mixed with a concert, taking audiences through a fully immersive visual and sonic journey of the soul.
