THE MIKE GORMLEY SHOW Featuring Aaron Zigman | Emmy-Winning Composer
Aaron Zigman is a classically trained composer, producer, arranger, songwriter, and musician who has scored music for films including The Notebook, The Six Triple Eight, The Company Men, Bridge to Terabithia, John Q., The Proposal, Flicka, For Colored Girls, Flash of Genius, Sex & the City, Alpha Dog, and Escape from Planet Earth.
Aaron Zigman has accrued numerous honors, including the 2005 Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Song, two International Film Music Critics Award nominations, and twelve BMI Film & TV Awards.
A top prize-winner at the 2021 American Prize in Orchestral Composition, his Tango Manos concerto was a finalist for the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Music.
Aaron Zigman's concert output encompasses operatic, orchestral, chamber, and vocal music.
Émigré (2023), his oratorio for soloists, choir, and orchestra, receives its European premiere from Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin in the fall of 2024. This follows the work’s world and U.S. premieres last season from the co-commissioning Shanghai Philharmonic and New York Philharmonic, respectively, with a Chinese and American cast led by conductor Long Yu in a semi-staged production by Mary Birnbaum. Set to a libretto by Mark Campbell, with additional lyrics by Brock Walsh, the 90-minute work tells the story of Jewish refugees who fled to Shanghai to escape the Holocaust. A recording of its Shanghai world premiere was released this past June by Deutsche Grammophon, drawing a five-star review from BBC Music magazine, and a film of the U.S. premiere comes to PBS TV’s “Great Performances” series in fall 2024.
