Who We Are
Creative Director
Todd Maki is a Youngstown, Ohio–based composer, producer, and conductor whose musical journey began at age five with piano studies and later expanded to percussion and choral music. A lifelong fascination with electronic music and a pivotal early experience composing for film sparked his passion for composition and audio production. After working as an in-house composer and sound designer in Alabama, Todd returned home to build a recording studio, where he refined his craft and began scoring short and feature-length films.
Driven by a desire to work with live musicians, Todd immersed himself in orchestral study and collaboration. In 2013, he founded what became the Legacy Scoring Orchestra, an ensemble dedicated to recording works by composers from around the world. What began as a practical approach to leading recording sessions evolved into a deep love of conducting. Today, Todd serves as conductor for multiple ensembles and orchestras throughout Northeast Ohio, continuing his lifelong pursuit of musical production and collaboration.
Ron Lutterbie is an accomplished musician, administrative leader, and passionate advocate for Ohio community music programs with over 40 years of performing arts experience.

His extensive leadership includes serving as Executive Director for the Cincinnati Wind Band (formerly Fillmore Wind Band), 10 years as president of the Cincinnati Brass Band, and founding the River's Edge Brass Band and the Ohio Valley Big Band. Most recently, Ron served as Band Manager and Solo Tenor Horn player for the Brass Band of the Western Reserve. Nationally, he serves as the Development Chair and former Treasurer for the North American Brass Band Association (NABBA) and has been a long time member of the board of directors.
