Concert Celebrating Women Film Composers On Sept. 4 At Wiltern Theatre

It was recently announced that composer Pinar Toprak will score Marvel Studios’ CAPTAIN MARVEL, starring Brie Larson. Toprak will be the first woman to score a major movie for the studio.

Toprak’s recent score can be heard on Syfy’s awesome Superman show “Krypton”.

I’m so thrilled to finally announce that I will be scoring the upcoming CAPTAIN MARVEL! It’s an incredible honor to be a part of the Marvel Universe. So many thoughts racing through my head. And the main one is gratitude. I have so many people to thank for helping me on this journey but first and foremost, my incredible agents Laura Engel and Richard Kraft for believing in me from day one and Dave Jordan and directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime. #captainmarvel

The Annual Future is Female Concert will commence at the historical Wiltern Theatre on September 4, 2018 at 7pm.  The concert featuring the Hollywood Chamber Orchestra will celebrate and showcase the wonderful contributions of women composers in film and television, as well as the global music composition community at large.  The evening is presented by KCRW in association with Live Nation & The Alliance for Women Composers. Tickets went on sale to the public last Friday, June 15, 2018  at www.wiltern.com.

Many remarkably talented female composers of note will perform original music as a tribute to Maestras around the world.  While there has been a major rise in film music concerts both domestically and globally, very few feature the musical works of women composers.  The Future is Female Concert serves as a platform where talented female composers can showcase their works in a film music concert on a national stage.

In 2017, of the top 250 grossing films, only 3% were composed by women.  This represents no change from 2016 from the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film by Dr. Martha M. Lauzen.

This year’s amazing line-up includes:
