THEO ELWELL

Theo is a composer, orchestrator and award-winning instrumentalist. He has orchestrated for a wide range of projects, including the Ivor Novello-nominated score for Three Little Birds, recorded at RAK and Abbey Road's Angel Studios. His latest score was in collaboration with Oscar-winner Hoyte van Hoytema (Interstellar, Dunkirk, Oppenheimer).

He is currently scoring the BAFTA-winning series Who Do You Think You Are?, a feature-doc for Netflix and a number of independent productions. In addition to his work for screen, he also works as a string arranger and orchestrator for notable artists including Tom Misch. 

Other recent highlights include international campaigns for Pernod Ricard and Volvo and BBC's critically acclaimed The Holy Land & Us.

By combining his strong classical foundation with advanced electronic techniques, Theo specialises in creating immersive sound-worlds unique to each project. He began his training as a chorister and violinist, touring internationally from a young age before going on to Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance where he studied Violin and Composition with a double scholarship. He is fortunate to play on a Austrian Neuner & Horsteiner Violin (circa. 1879).

He works from his studio in South London.
