Biography

Stéphane Orlando won in 2023 the Best Original Score Award at Tokyo Short and St Louis Film Festival, and the SABAM for culture prize for contemporary music in 2020. In 2022, he became composer in residence at the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liège (Belgium, OPRL). Since 2001, as a pianist-improviser for the the Royal Film Archive of Belgium (Cinematek), Stéphane Orlando has provided accompaniment for over 500 silent films. He was thus able to experiment with the important principles of sound creation for the image, meeting the dramaturgical needs of films that can sometimes last more than three hours. Today, he composes and conduct his music for long and short films, alone, all in the box, or with the OST Ensemble.
