Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Ady Cohen is a film composer who also composes music for the stage, TV and the concert hall. He is the winner of the 2012 ACUM (Israeli ASCAP) Award for Best Score for a Children's Film for his score to the successful Caspion (2004), and the 1998 Israeli Academy Award for Best Film Score. The film, Dangerous Acts (1998), won seven Academy Awards including Best Director.

Having come from a family of musicians (most of them with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra), Ady was naturally drawn into the world of music, and soon enough became very successful at it. On the basis of his early work, the late Maestro Leonard Bernstein became Ady's patron and sponsored his studies at New York University where he graduated with Honors as a Bachelor of Fine Arts. He proceeded to win numerous international awards and scholarships.

Ady has composed film scores in Israel, the USA and Europe. He has written the music for numerous theater plays and dance performances, as well as for TV films and series. His talents are also employed by the advertising industry in TV, cinema and radio commercials and jingles.

Legendary musicians, such as Grammy Award winning composer Lalo Schifrin [Mission: Impossible (1966)], have praised Ady's music, and some of his illustrious collaborators include distinguished directors such as Academy Award winner Zbigniew Rybczynski [Tango (1981)] and animator Gil Alkabetz [Run Lola Run (1998)].

As a composer who specializes in dramatic music, Ady's unique ability to compose in different musical idioms, combined with his sensitivity to atmosphere and nuance, has led him to work in diverse genres: drama, comedy, action, suspense, thriller, children, teens, narrative as well as experimental films, and last but not least, his favorite genre: animation.

Ady shares his life with Bavat Marom, a world-renowned opera singer, with whom he occasionally collaborates, their 2 children Lyle and Noot, and millions of cats.
