For the first time in Greece, you have the opportunity to join a unique hands-on experience that brings together composition, orchestration, and professional live recording under the guidance of one of Hollywood’s most respected orchestrators, Dr. Norman Ludwin.
This event offers emerging and established composers the opportunity to compose for a live string ensemble, receive direct score supervision from Dr. Ludwin, and have their music professionally recorded at Foundry Recording Studio by Bullstrings Recording Ensemble.
Participants are invited to submit a one-minute original score written for strings, based on a storyline of their own creation or by using one the provided stories/videos (Drama, Fantasy/Love Story, or Nature/Documentary). Selected finalists will have their compositions recorded by the Bullstrings Recording Ensemble, filmed and recorded by top studio engineers.
In addition to the recording session, the program includes two focused workshops:
- Orchestration in Practice, led by Dr. Ludwin, offering advanced insight into film scoring and orchestration techniques
- Composing in DAW: Tips & Tricks, a practical production-focused session led by composer Panos Topalidis
All participants, whether selected for recording or not, will have access to exclusive learning, networking, and mentoring opportunities, including the Composers Meet-Up on the final day, which is open to the public.
