About Me

Composer Leah Curtis knows that one of the most exhilarating places to be is the conductors podium on the scoring stage. Her music has been performed, recorded and heard across the globe, including renditions with the Tasmanian and Sydney Symphony Orchestras, and the Hollywood and Prague Studio Orchestras. In 2004, her debut Symphony graced concert halls to solid reviews, capturing the essence and color of her native Australia with an international release this year. She is the recipient of a flood of commendations, including the Young Shakespearean Artist of the Year Award, the BMI Jerry Goldsmith Film Scoring Fellowship, the ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop and a Fulbright Scholarship. She currently shares her time between Australia and Los Angeles writing music to moving pictures.For more music, please go to: www.leahcurtis.com
