BAFTA-nominated composer Andrew Prahlow will be joined by the Hollywood Chamber Orchestra to perform music from the videogames 'Outer Wilds', 'Echoes of the Eye', and 'The Lost Reels'. 

The concert will be held at the famous Montalban Theatre in Hollywood on Friday, April 26 at 8pm; and the concert will also include performances by special guest(s) TBA. 

Andrew Prahlow is a BAFTA-nominated composer based in Los Angeles whose music focuses on larger-than-life, emotive soundscapes with a core of chamber-ensemble minimalism, hoping to create a sense of familiar nostalgia for the listener. 

Mr. Prahlow’s soundtrack for ‘Outer Wilds’ received 4 Best Original Score nominations (BAFTA, SXSW, Golden Joystick Awards, Jerry Goldsmith Awards), two G.A.N.G. nominations (Best Indie Game Music and Best Interactive Score), as well as 2 Best Game Music wins (Giant Bomb and OnlySinglePlayer Awards). 

Andrew began his career as an intern for John Powell while completing his graduate studies at USC’s SMPTV Program.  From 2011- 2014, he assisted on the music of ‘The Legend of Korra’ (Jeremy Zuckerman) and ‘Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness’  (Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn (Deru)).  He also co-composed the track ‘Reach The Sky’ for Disney’s 2021 Epcot Entrance Soundtrack with Mark Petrie. 

Andrew has composed ambient soundscapes for the Madden NFL franchise, written an arrangement of ‘Be Our Guest’ for the 2017 Oscars ‘Beauty and the Beast’ spot, and composed the score to 2017 Mobile VR Game of the Year, ‘Eclipse: Edge of Light’.   Andrew and electronic artist Luminist’s soundtrack to ‘Atone: Heart of the Elder Tree’ was shortlisted among Apple’s Best Audio of 2020.  He has also written for trailer campaigns, including ‘Star Wars’, ‘Avengers,’ ‘Blade Runner 2049’, and ‘Star Trek’. 

The Hollywood Chamber Orchestra, now in its 8th season, was founded by co-music directors Noah Gladstone and Mark Robertson.  Previous concerts include several films live to picture, such as “Parasite”, “Killer Clowns from Outer Space”, “Blackfish”, and “Harry Potter and the Socerer’s Stone”.  They also have premiered works by Pinar Toprak, Chad Cannon, Michael Barry, Genevieve Vincent, and many others.
