Scott Starrett

Scott Starrett (b. 1971) has written original music for award-winning films which have screened at festivals throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.  According to The Boston Globe, his music possesses “an attractively dappled quality as contrasting gestures interrupt and overlap each other.”

Starrett earned a Master of Music degree from The Juilliard School, where he studied under John Corigliano, Academy Award winning composer of The Red Violin.  His credits include collaborating as a composer-orchestrator for Michael Kamen on HBO’s From the Earth to the Moon and MTV’s Bryan Adams Unplugged as well as creating musical arrangements for Lisa Loeb.

Starrett has scored films which have showcased at the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival, the Boston Film Festival, the Vancouver Film Festival, the Cinema Paradise Film Fest (Honolulu), the Long Beach Film Festival, the Ohio Independent Film Festival (Cleveland), the Pusan International Film Festival (Pusan, Korea), and the Asiana International Short Film Festival (Seoul, Korea).

As a concert composer, Starrett’s works have been performed by the Boston-based Metamorphosen Chamber Orchestra, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and the Juilliard Symphony.  In 1995, he was named a Fulbright scholar and studied in Rome, Italy, under the sponsorship of Hans Werner Henze.  A native of Cincinnati, Starrett now resides in New York City.
