"RIP to one of the top and most highly talented film makers Hollywoods!
It will take a long time for this town to somewhat recover from this tremendous shock!
If you were lucky enough to be involved in one of his many successful projects, one thing you observed from the onset was his honest and sincere commitment and approach!
He also was a real “Mensch”.
A man who was, besides being the leader, a real person, who enjoyed humor and knew how to motivate everyone around him!
Was fortunate enough to have played on the scores to some of his highly rated movies like Sleepless in Seattle, The American President, A Few Good Men, etc!
Still remember him standing at the studio entrance and personally greeting some of us with a handshake and a smile.
You knew right away whom you were dealing with.
But make no mistake, he was very outspoken and would let you know how he felt like; once during one of the sessions there were issues with syncing up the tracks.
It was the end of a session for the movie “Misery” and we were running out of time. After inquiring what the hold up was, namely technical issues, his outspoken and shouting response was: “F… the technology and get it done!” Needless to say, it got done.
And as one of Hollywood’s top composers once told me: “After my first phone conversation with Rob I never dared to show up wasted for a meeting with him!” One knew better.
He was a one of a kind personality and also reflected the spirit and Hollywood professionalism he and his dad Carl personified!
R.I.P. Mr. Reiner, your smile and the famous infectious Reiner humor will always be with us!”

Our Story

HOLLYWOOD MUSIC WORKSHOP 2020 from July 13 - August 7, 2020

Over the past eleven years Hollywood Music Workshop has welcomed students from all over the globe, learning from top composers, arrangers and sound engineers in the beautiful City of Baden, just outside of Vienna. Many of those students have furthered their careers and gone out into the composing world, scoring for Film & TV. In addition, they made lasting friendships with mentors and other students.

“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.

The 2020 Hollywood Music Workshop (HMW) will take place from July 13 through August 7 and includes 3, 4, 5 and 6 day masterclasses. After last year’s success HMW is happy to welcome back 2-time Emmy winner John Lunn (“Downton Abbey”) with SCORING FOR TELEVISION.

HMW is proud to welcome for the second time renowned Hollywood composer and lecturer at USC LA Garry Schyman, who teaches COMPOSING FOR VIDEO GAMES. Award-winning composer Joe Kraemer (Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation) will be back in Baden with his class NAVIGATING THE TRIANGLE and Conrad Pope & Nan Schwartz will once again teach their popular class ORCHESTRATION AND ARRANGING. To round up the summer scoring academy, composers have the opportunity to RECORD THEIR COMPOSITIONS with a 50-piece orchestra - for the first time at the famous MUSIKVEREIN VIENNA. This amazing historic location will provide our participants with the best acoustic properties available, resulting in superior sound for each composer’s recording project. Joe Kraemer alongside Conrad Pope will guide participants through the recording process and will make sure that the compositions will be recorded professionally. Concert master and Hollywood Music Worskhop Director Dimitrie Leivici will lead the 50-piece orchestra and provide additional coaching. Scoring mixer and film composer Frankie Chinasky will be the lead recording engineer, leveraging the world class equipment of the sound stage and the control room.

Here is the complete line-up:
