You might not recognize Kelly Pratt’s name, but there’s a good chance you’ve heard his work. The Portland-based multi-instrumentalist has contributed to albums by Coldplay and Beirut, and spent the better part of the past year conducting Father John Misty’s live band. He also has the distinction of helping arrange some songs for the animated series Bob’s Burgers.
But Pratt’s greatest achievement may still be on the horizon. This Friday, Pratt will premiere a new work he wrote under his solo moniker Bright Moments in collaboration with the Camas High School Choir. The hour-long piece for rock band, horns, and voices veers through a number of different styles, incorporating doo-wop, Afrobeat, and metal.
