Works
G
Ghosts
Instrumentation: Orchestra (notably strings, piano, harp; full orchestration implied for ballet)
Duration: Approximately 30 minutes (described as a thirty-minute symphonic ballet score)
Year: Composed circa 2008; premiered 2009/2010
Commissioned by: Initially commissioned for the Tucson Symphony Orchestra; later choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon for San Francisco Ballet
Description: Ghosts is a dramatic symphonic work written for a ballet commission that engages orchestral textures for strings, piano, and harp with full ensemble writing. Its narrative is abstract, exploring themes of memory and loss through shifting moods, and it was staged by Christopher Wheeldon for the San Francisco Ballet, significantly expanding Winger’s reputation as a serious classical composer.
Notes: Movement names sometimes cited in press coverage include Misterioso, Vivace, Adagio, Allegro, indicating multi-section structure of the ballet score.

Year: Composed 2011–2016 (album released 2016)
Commissioned by: Created in collaboration/performance with the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra; not a traditional commission but central to his debut classical album project

1. Chaconne de feu
2. Waltz Solitaire
3. Souvenir Noir
4. Impetuous Mirage
The music blends romantic orchestral writing with contemporary idioms to reflect Nijinsky’s complex legacy in dance.

In the Language of Flowers

Duration: Approximately 27 minutes
Year: Composed over 2019–2024; premiered 2025
Commissioned by: Nashville Symphony (commission tied to ongoing partnership with conductor Giancarlo Guerrero and the orchestra)
Description: This four-movement violin concerto evokes the symbolic “language of flowers,” with each movement named after a flower (Forsythia, Viscaria, Ambrosia, Wisteria). The music blends virtuosic solo writing with lush orchestral textures, exploring themes of beauty, transience, and narrative expression through the soloist’s dialogue with the orchestra.

Get Jack, A Musical Thriller
Instrumentation:
Score Type: Rock-orchestral hybrid — combining rock band instrumentation (guitars, bass, drums) with theatrical and symphonic elements typical of contemporary rock musicals.
Vocal: Ensemble cast (multiple soloists representing principal characters), spoken dialogue assumed in stage versions.
Duration: The concept album (studio cast recording) contains multiple tracks spanning two acts — typically yielding an audio duration in the 70–90 minute range when played straight through, though precise total time varies by release format.
Year: Concept Album Released: 2019
Commissioned by: Independently developed by Winger and Gray with support from theatrical producers.
Description: Get Jack is a dark, rock-inflected musical thriller that reimagines the notorious Jack the Ripper murders from the perspective of the victims. Rather than focusing on the killer, the story centers on the five canonical victims of Jack the Ripper — Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly — who are resurrected after death with supernatural powers and embark on a quest to identify and confront the killer themselves.
The narrative blends horror, revenge, and surrealism: the women journey through the streets of Victorian Whitechapel and the psychological depths of the killer’s mind, challenging both him and the historical mystique surrounding the case.
