USC Composition Forum
This version of Composition Forum was created by Brian King in 2002 and continues to be a strong community building and networking component for the USC film scoring program. All of the composers, practitioners and business partners listed here have been invited by Brian to visit with the students and faculty in the SMPTV program, as well as the Thornton School of Music and the School of Cinematic Arts. And in some instances, the students have visited with the composers on their scoring sessions.
