The Hollywood Music Workshop announces its line-up of film, TV and Video Game composing masterclasses for its 10th anniversary celebration.
Vienna, Austria, Jan 22nd, 2018-
Over the past ten years Hollywood Music Workshop has welcomed students from all over the globe, learning from top composers, arrangers and sound engineers in the beautiful City of Baden, just outside of Vienna. Many of those students have furthered their careers and gone out into the composing world, scoring for Film & TV. In addition, they made lasting friendships with mentors and other students. Hollywood Music Workshop is excited to celebrate its 10th Anniversary this summer with an extended curriculum now also including SCORING FOR TELEVISION with 2-time Emmy winner John Lunn (“Downton Abbey”).
“We are happy to celebrate our 10th Anniversary with such an illustrious group of mentors, consisting of successful Hollywood composers, orchestrators and engineers. With the addition of SCORING FOR TELEVISION and Emmy Winner John Lunn, we will now cover all aspects of media composing,” says HMW director Dimitrie Leivici. “Over the past years we have seen so many of our former students succeed in the industry, working on exciting projects. In addition, friendships have been built and a supportive peer network was established. We look forward to another decade of our Hollywood Music Workshop,” adds co-director Lilo Bellotto.
The 2018 Hollywood Music Workshop (HMW) will take place from July 9 through August 16 and include 3, 5 and 6 day masterclasses. After last year’s success HMW is happy to welcome back video game composer Cris Velasco with SCORING FOR VIDEO GAMES, TJ Lindgren with CREATING MIDI MOCK-UPSand Johannes Vogel with CONDUCTING FOR MODERN FILM SCORING.
