Jesper joins BMI Composer Lab as advisor
BMI announces the second annual BMI Composer Lab, continuing its mission to provide emerging composers with a one-of-a-kind experience in artistic growth and professional development. This year’s roster of advisors includes some of the most world-renowned BMI composers including Harry Gregson-Williams, James Newton Howard, Thomas Newman, and Jesper Kyd.
The lab will be led by former director of the Sundance Film Music Program Peter Golub, and BMI’s VP of Film, TV & Visual Media Tracy McKnight. The finalists selected will participate in a nine-day online workshop followed by a ten-day onsite intensive in Los Angeles. BMI-affiliated composers of all musical backgrounds are encouraged to apply now through April 24. For more information, including submission guidelines and requirements, please visit bmicomposerlab.slideroom.com.
Finalists will be guided through a series of interactive workshops that will culminate with orchestral recording and mixing sessions with The Hollywood Cinematic Orchestra at Bandrika Studios. The BMI Composer Lab finalists will be announced on July 15, with online sessions starting August 13–21 and in-person sessions taking place from September 8–17 in Los Angeles.
