Zurich, July 13, 2023
The International Film Music Competition takes place for the 11th time during the 19th Zurich Film Festival's "Cinema in Concert" gala event. The prestigious event motivated 153 composers from each of the world's continents to enter an original score, which they created for the short film AU REVOIR JERÔME. Presided over by Oscar-winner Volker Bertelmann, the jury has now selected the three finalists whose compositions will be performed live by the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich on September 30.
On September 30, 2023, the International Film Music Competition will take place for the 11th time during the 19th Zurich Film Festival's "Cinema in Concert" gala event at the Tonhalle Zurich. It is organised and implemented by the ZFF and the Tonhalle-Gesellschaft Zürich AG in collaboration with the Forum Filmmusik. Entrants were asked to create and submit a new and original score for the short film AU REVOIR JÉRÔME.
From the approximately 150 anonymously submitted compositions, three favourites have now been selected, and their composers will be invited to the ZFF. They will rehearse their compositions together with the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich before they are world premiered under the musical direction of Frank Strobel in the presence of the jury during the "Cinema in Concert" gala event. “The Tonhalle-Orchestra Zurich has established a strong reputation in the field of film symphonies. To look ahead in this genre and provide a stage for young composers is essential for us as an institution,” says Head of Artistic Department of Tonhalle Marc Barwisch.
