About the ArtistsNICHOLAS HOOPER composer NICHOLAS BUC conductor

Nicholas

Hooper is one of

Europe’s leading

composers,

having written

and produced

music for over 250

films, dramas and

documentaries

since 1990. He

has developed

a reputation for

producing music

that is original,

inspiring and

always colourful.

His scores have

received several

major accolades.

In 2004 he won

the BAFTA for

Best Original Score for The Young Visiters as well as being nominated

for State of Play in the same year. Nicholas was nominated for a 2006

BAFTA for his score to The Girl In The Café, and prior to this was BAFTA

nominated for The Way We Live Now. In 1998 he won the coveted Golden

Panda Award for Land of the Tiger, a major BBC documentary series

on India. The following year he won again (having been nominated for

three separate scores), making him the first composer to win the award

consecutively. He has received many other accolades for his feature

films including the period feature The Heart Of Me, starring Helena

Bonham Carter and Olivia Williams, and The Tichbourne Claimant (a quote

from Variety: “Nicholas Hooper’s alert symphonic score rates a major

bow, adding shape and atmosphere to the labyrinthine tale”).

Nicholas scored Philip Martin’s feature, Einstein and Eddington, starring

David Tennant as Sir Arthur Eddington and Andy Serkis as Albert Einstein

for Company Pictures/HBO, and Belonging for BBC Wales Drama. He also

scored Enid Blyton for Carnival/BBC, Mo Mowlam for C4, and Yes Virginia,

a CBS animated film for Christmas 2009.

Nicholas has received great critical acclaim for his stunning scores to

both Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix™ for Warner Bros, (“Let

there be no doubt – Hooper’s reputation is cemented with this work, and

his career just shifted gears.” Daniel Champion, Music from the Movies,

July 2007), and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, nominated for a

2010 Grammy for Best Film Score. He most recently completed recording

two wonderful scores to the Walt Disney Pictures feature releases,

African Cats and Chimpanzee.

Continuing his passion for music and film, he conducted the live-
