NEWS in from Ronan Cassidy who heads up Film Limerick: composer Patrick Cassidy has been nominated for the Discovery of the Year Award, in the 14th World Soundtrack Academy programme.
This accolade will be announced and presented during the World Soundtrack Awards and Concert this Saturday October 25 at the Kuipke Events Centre in Ghent, Belgium.
The World Soundtrack Academy’s objective is to reward and stimulate the growth of talented composers by awarding the Discovery of the Year. Patrick Cassidy’s musical score for John Michael McDonagh’s hit movie ‘Calvary’ is in the running.
The Limerick educated (mathematician) composer will face tough competition as he competes against Oscar winner Steven Price (‘Gravity’, ‘The World’s End’) and Daniel Pemberton (‘The Counsellor’, ‘Cuban Fury’).
He tells us: “I am very pleased that the World Soundtrack Awards has nominated ‘Calvary’ in the Discovery of the Year Category. ‘Calvary’ has had great success and did very well at the IFTAs earlier this yea. Let’s hope that the winning streak continues”.
