Cologne, May 23, 2022 –

SoundTrack_Cologne is honored to announce the featured panelists of this year’s Composing for TV Series Day, taking place on Saturday, June 11th, 2022 in Cologne.

TV series seem to be the new gold standard for film composers – but scoring for series adds a lot of complexities and challenges to the job description of a composer. Four panels at SoundTrack_Cologne’s TV Series Day look behind the scenes of scoring for series: Hesham Nazih (Marvels’s “Moon Knight”), Hannah von Hübbenet (“Charité 2”), Christoph Schauer und Max Filges ("Sløborn") and Giorgio Giampà (Best Music at Canneseries for “Christian”) are the panelists and will give audiences insights and background stories on their careers and their scoring work for Television.
