Place / Event > Award Ceremony, Seminar

There's only one week to go until the Production Music Awards (formerly Library Music Awards) return with their exciting day of seminars titled Tune Up. This year's headline guest is Academy Award-winning composer Dario Marianelli. Dario's scores have accompanied everything from period dramas such as Atonement, Anna Karenina and Pride & Prejudice through to animation (Kubo and the Two Strings, The Boxtrolls) and thrillers (Everest, V for Vendetta). At the November 25th event in London, Spitfire Audio present In Conversation with Dario Marianelli, a chance to delve into Dario's considerable body of work, and discuss tips and techniques with the acclaimed composer.

The Tune Up programme is perfect for budding composers and professionals alike with panels and speakers discussing the musical, technical and business realities of being a music composer today. There are plenty of chances to network and ask your questions with two key Q&A sessions focusing on Music in Advertising and Independent Production Music Libraries.

Other sessions include:

Its part of the craft that isn't talked about too much. Often on larger films there are a number of Composers credited with writing additional music', Music Editor' and Music Supervisor'.

As well as being a successful writer in his own right, Rael's credits include Music Programmer' (Beauty and the Beast), Music Editor' (Steve Jobs) and Composer: Additional Music' (Sherlock).
