We are thrilled to share our conversation with composer/orchestrator/conductor Conrad Pope. Known throughout Hollywood for his deep musical knowledge and artistry, Conrad is an outstanding composer for cinema and one of the most in-demand orchestrators and conductors in the business. He has participated in well over a hundred films, working for composers John Williams, Alexandre Desplat, James Newton Howard, Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, Alan Silvestri, Danny Elfman, John Powell and Hans Zimmer.
A small sampling of the truly classic cinema Pope has contributed to: the Star Wars series, the Harry Potter series, The Hobbit series, Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Matrix films, Argo, The Rocketeer, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Polar Express, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Life of Pi, Sleepy Hollow, The Tree of Life, The Adventures of Tintin and most recently, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
His acclaimed work as a composer includes My Week With Marilyn, The Wolfman, Ghost Ship and the documentary Tim’s Vermeer, to name but a few scores. In addition to his very busy schedule composing, orchestrating and conducting (in studio and on stage), Conrad will be once again teaching courses this summer for the Hollywood Music Workshop outside of Vienna, in Baden Austria. We are extremely pleased to invite Conrad to the show. What transpires in today's episode is a Film Music conversation that is riveting, hilarious and deeply moving. Enjoy!
