“We are happy to welcome an illustrious group of mentors, consisting of successful Hollywood composers, orchestrators and engineers. Over the past years we have seen so many of our former students succeed in the industry, working on exciting projects. In addition, friendships have been built and a supportive peer network was established” say HMW directors Dimitrie Leivici and co-director Lilo Bellotto.
