Stefan French (Film Scoring) Accepted onto ASCAP Workshop

After only 8 months on the 1 Year Scoring for Film and Visual Media masters program here at Pulse College, Irish composer Stefan French has been accepted on to the prestigious ASCAP Film Scoring workshop in LA (July – August 2015). Stefan has been chosen as one of 12 composers, from over 300 submissions worldwide. The workshop is regarded as one of the top training opportunities in the world for emerging composers for film, and its list of alumni includes many of the top names currently working within the industry.

Stefan: “The ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop has been a major goal of mine since I first started out on this career path 5 years ago, and I am so happy to have finally been offered a place. The thought of recording my music with the Hollywood Studio Symphony on the Newman Scoring Stage at 20th Century Fox is mind blowing, and I am extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity.”
