A noted advocate for American contemporary and film music, Scott Dunn has had a remarkable career as pianist, conductor and orchestrator. He is the Associate Conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and regularly appears with major orchestras and headliners throughout the US, UK and Europe.
A one-time student of Byron Janis and former assistant to Lukas Foss, Dunn toured eastern Europe as solo pianist early in his career presenting Ives’ CONCORD SONATA and other American masterworks. He made his momentous Carnegie Hall debut as pianist and orchestrator premiering his own reconstruction of Vernon Duke’s ‘lost’ PIANO CONCERTO in C.
The newly formed Scott Dunn Orchestra (SDO) is borne from Dunn’s passion for film music, which can be traced back to his mentors Leonard Rosenman and Sir Richard Rodney Bennett. In partnership with The Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, the SDO – comprised of the world’s greatest studio musicians – celebrates Hollywood’s great music legacy and presents concerts dedicated exclusively to film music as first-rate concert fare.
