Musician Paul Henning, WSU alumnus and Pullman native, to speak at university
Staring out at Kamiak Butte from Washington State University’s campus about 20 years, Pullman native Paul Henning, just like so many other college students, wondered what direction his life was going.
The young music major couldn’t have imagined that he would soon be living in Los Angeles, working in the film scoring business, nor that nearly 20 years later, he would be part of the team working on the newest “Star Wars” films.
“I remember being in those seats and having no idea what to do,” Henning said of his time at WSU.
Henning, who has now been working in LA since 2000, will return to Pullman next week where he will deliver various presentations throughout the week. His main presentation is set at 7 p.m. Monday in the CUB Auditorium, during which he will share his story of going from Pullman to working on the score for “Star Wars.”
