Simone Spagnolo

Having composed music for a variety of contexts – from live concerts to opera and ballet, from soundtracks to library music – Simone Spagnolo has been commissioned from institutions such as Opera in the City Festival, Trinity Laban Conservatoire, Anderson Entertainment, Fabergé LTD, and Intervox Music Production.
Simone Spagnolo has received numerous awards, including the Asia America Symphony Orchestra Composition Prize, Los Angeles, with the distinction of being the first winner from outside the United States, and receiving his award from legendary composer-producer David Benoit.
Since 2018 he has been Head of Composition at London College of Music, University of West London. Some of his music scores are published by Universal Edition.
