Conductor Richard Kaufman has worked in Hollywood for decades, conducting music for films and television shows, and has appeared with many of the United States' leading orchestras. For 11 years, he has been highly successful as musical director of the Chicago Symphony's film music concerts. He is also the person film stars engage to train them when their roles require that they play musical instruments.
