His groundbreaking orchestral fusions , such as Brahms X Radiohead and The Resurrection Mixtape ( Mahler X Notorious BIG X Tupac Shakur ), are introducing the symphony orchestra to its future audience ; he has conducted these pieces to sellout houses across the country with the orchestras of Philadelphia , San Francisco , Dallas , Seattle , Pittsburgh , San Diego , Colorado , Phoenix , Nashville , Oregon , Indianapolis , Grand Rapids , Columbus , Charlotte , Southwest Florida , Alabama , Colorado Music Festival , and the Boston Pops .
Hackman has teamed up with some of the biggest pop superstars of today to add a signature virtuosic and classical dimension to their work , including Steve Lacy , Doja Cat and Andrew Bird . He was trained at the Curtis Institute of Music and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and holds degrees in Orchestral Conducting and Piano Performance . He recently taught his first course at the Juilliard School entitled ‘ Fusion , Re-imagination and Revelation .’
