BMI Hosts ‘Composing for the Screen’ Luncheon

BMI held a luncheon for the participants of its co-sponsored workshop, “Composing for the Screen: Film Scoring for a New Era,” September 16 at its New York office. The five-class workshop examines the diversity of film composition and offers six emerging film composers the opportunity to utilize the professional facilities of the Manhattan Producers Alliance and collaborate in composing short cues excerpted from a range of film sources. The participating students will record, review and share work in a friendly and supportive environment, which will lead to a final project where all workshop participants will compose a cue to a well known film. The final cues will be recorded by an ensemble consisting of New York’s finest freelance studio musicians.
