Crime Doesn't Pay is a short, fun and flashy work for the orchestra in the veins of 1960's television show escapades (think Adam West's "Batman" meets "Mission: Impossible"). The piece was composed for a scoring project requirement in Zhou Tian's orchestration course at Michigan State University. Designed perfectly to open or close any concert, Crime Doesn't Pay is sure to bring audiences a small dose of fun in just a few short minutes.
