Award-Winning Cinematic Orchestration & Performance
Scott Meinschock is a Cannes World Film Festival Nominee and film composer dedicated to the art of symphonic storytelling. His work on the feature film Art Work (2024) recently earned "Best Narrative Feature" honors at the Clown International and Pageant Film Festivals, alongside "Best Film of the Season" at the Humro Film Festival.
Mentored by jazz master Dr. Fred Hess and orchestration master R.J. Miller (London Philharmonic orchestrator), Scott bridges the gap between the spontaneity of jazz and the grand scale of the silver screen. He is currently developing The Diamond Phil, a 40-year passion project that applies a 21st-century "Wall of Sound" to the legendary Neil Diamond songbook.
Utilizing a high-fidelity, zero-stage-volume architecture, Scott brings the precision of a professional film-scoring session to every performance, meticulously scoring two new symphonic arrangements every month in Sibelius.
