LAURINA FILM PARTNERS
We're gaining talented new team members all of the time.
Here are the latest artists we are so lucky to be associated with.
DAVID AMRAM, Composer
We are incredibly grateful to have David Amram compose the Laurina score. Not only because he is a living musical legend, but because he is the only other person on this film who actually knew the real Laurina. She thought the world of David and we're sure she's smiling that he will create the music for this film.
David composed the scores for the classic films "Splendor in The Grass" starring Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty and "The Manchurian Candidate" starring Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury. He has composed over 100 orchestral and chamber music works and many scores for Broadway, theater, TV and other films.
He has written two operas, including the ground-breaking Holocaust opera "The Final Ingredient;" and the score for the landmark 1959 documentary "Pull My Daisy," narrated by novelist Jack Kerouac. David is also the author of three books: the autobiography "Vibrations," and the memoirs "Offbeat: Collaborating With Kerouac," and "Upbeat: Nine Lives of a Musical Cat."
A pioneer player of jazz French horn, David is also a virtuoso on piano, numerous flutes and whistles, percussion, and dozens of folkloric instruments from 25 countries as well as an inventive, funny improvisational lyricist.
He has collaborated with Leonard Bernstein, who chose him as the New York Philharmonic’s first composer-in-residence in 1966, Langston Hughes, Dizzy Gillespie, Dustan Hoffman, Willie Nelson, Thelonious Monk, Odetta, Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, Charles Mingus, Lionel Hampton, E.G. Marshall, Johnny Depp, Betty Carter and Tito Puente.
One of Amram's most recent works, "Giants of the Night," is a flute concerto dedicated to the memory of Charlie Parker, Jack Kerouac and Dizzy Gillespie, three American artists David knew and worked with. It was commissioned and premiered by Sir James Galway. Today, as he has for over fifty years, Amram continues to compose music while traveling the world as a conductor, soloist, bandleader, visiting scholar, and narrator in five languages.
