This was the Hollywood Music Workshop 2016:
A Film Scoring Summer Academy with Hollywood’s Elite
This year has been bigger then ever with nine different masterclasses offered over a period of five weeks that could be booked individually or as a whole.
We were happy to introduce our new and amazing line-up of top Hollywood composers, orchestrators and arrangers to this year’s participants. Our workshop has been incredibly successful over the past 7 years and we have been able to grow into this excellent summer film music academy. This again has been one of a kind opportunity to work and study with some of Hollywood’s greatest film music talents in the wonderful ambience of the beautiful City of Baden. Composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss and Lanner performed in this historic Spa Town near Vienna. Starting from composing, orchestration and arrangement through recording with a real string orchestra on the new Synchron Stage Vienna to final mixing. Our participants could learn the entire film scoring process gaining real-world knowledge delivered by some of Hollywood’s best.
In case you missed some or all of this year’s academy – stay tuned for the upcoming 2017 summer academy. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
