Film Scoring Academy of Europe

It was a treat to have Colombian composer and orchestrator, Oscar Olaya, with us earlier this year, when he spent a few days with our MFA composers!

Oscar is a highly acclaimed professor in music and orchestration for film, and has worked on numerous projects for Amazon Studios and Netflix.

He is best known for his work with Colombian feature films and his orchestration for Pope Francis' Mass during his visit to Colombia 🤩
