Event information
A masterclass from one of Hollywood’s most sought-after and prolific composers, hosted by the London Soundtrack Festival in association with Guildhall School.
The Masterclass will be introduced by Barbara De Biasi, Lead professor of Film Music at Guildhall School.
Harry Gregson-Williams’ long list of film and television credits underscore the diverse range of his talents. He has received the BMI Icon Award in recognition of his unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers, and was awarded the prestigious Ambassador Award by the Society of Composers & Lyricists.
Gregson-Williams was the composer on all four instalments of the animated blockbuster Shrek franchise, garnering a BAFTA Award nomination for the score for the Oscar-winning Shrek. He received Golden Globe and Grammy Award nominations for his score for Andrew Adamson’s The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Recent projects for Harry include Gladiator II directed by Ridley Scott which stars Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal.
He has also scored three of the five games in the highly successful Metal Gear Solid franchise for Konami and scored Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for Activision, which became the top-selling video game of 2014 and earned him various music gaming awards.
This Masterclass is hosted by the London Soundtrack Festival in partnership with Guildhall School's Film Music course, part of the School's Electronic & Produced Music department.
