We are planning to run this program in-person for summer 2022; however, we must remain flexible in our response to COVID-19 developments. The health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff are our primary concerns, so remote workshops may be a necessary alternative. This page will be updated as soon as guidance from NYU central is available.
Headlined by luminary composers Mark Snow (The X-Files, Blue Bloods), Michael Levine (Siren, Star Wars: Detours), and NYU Film Scoring faculty, and featuring different guests year to year like Tamar-Kali Brown (Come Sunday, Mudbound), music editors Suzana Peric (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Silence of the Lambs) and Todd Kasow (True Grit, Wonderstruck), or Sean Callery (24, Homeland).
The NYU Steinhardt Film Scoring Workshop will highlight:
- Creative Process and Composition
- Critiques by Top Industry Guests
- Logic Pro X + Sample Library bootcamp
- Virtual and Traditional Orchestration
- Music Editing, Preparation, and Engineering
- Evening Presentations with Industry Guests
