ole Joins in Mentoring International Group of Emerging Composers As Part of ASCAP’s Television and Film Scoring Workshop
12 emerging composers from around the world are currently participating in the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers' (ASCAP) 22nd annual Television and Film Scoring Workshop, which is partially supported by The ASCAP Foundation with an additional contribution from ole. According to ole's Director of Business Development David Weitzman, this initiative is a perfect fit for ole, one of the world's largest independent, full-service music publishers who are participating for the third year. "One of ole's core endeavours is to support and develop promising talent and our creator community," says Weitzman. The Workshop, which is being held in Los Angeles from July 19 to August 12, offers the mentorship of Emmy Award-winning composer/arranger and ASCAP board member Richard Bellis, who has coached the workshop for the past 12 years. "With this program, ASCAP introduces these 12 talented composer participants to Hollywood's elite, including award-winning film and television composer, orchestrators and top-tier business professionals," Bellis explains. "In addition, participants receive a rare glimpse of what it's like to be an A-list film composer. They are given a scene to score from a major motion picture and then surrounded by every benefit and luxury afforded a big budget music score - music editor, scoring mixer, contractor, copyists and a 65-piece L.A. studio orchestra on one of the largest recording stages in town. There is nothing like this workshop anywhere in the world."
