Artistic Director Patrick Duynslaegher states “If you are looking for the next generation of great composers, you just have to look at the World Soundtrack Discovery Awards where composers as Michael Giacchino, Gustavo Santaolalla, Craig Armstrong and Abel Korzeniowski were acknowledged by our Advisory Board early on in their careers.’. Last year, Daniel Pemberton was discovered by the WSA Advisory Board. This year Pemberton scored The Man From U.N.C.L.E and the critically acclaimed Steve Jobs. Pemberton stated “It was a wonderful honor to be selected as the Discovery of the Year at the last World Soundtrack Awards – to follow in the footsteps of so many great composers like Michael Giacchino, Gustavo Santaolla, and Craig Armstrong who’ve been given the accolade before was pretty humbling. Since then it feels like I haven’t stopped and I’m ridiculously excited to hear the Brussels Philharmonic premiere pieces from my latest scores to Steve Jobs and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. at this year’s concert. Plus I’m going to drink a lot of Belgium beer too. Hurrah.” The Discovery of the Year Award is aimed at encouraging emerging talent, who at the current WSA eligibility had scored no more than six theatrically released films (excluded are shorts, TV-formats & documentaries.)
