 Anne Dudley was the BBC Concert Orchestra's first Composer in Association, a tenure which lasted three years.
Anne wrote a new piece for the Orchestra each year (Music and Silence, the first of these commissions, was premiered in September 2002) and devised and ran projects as part of the Orchestra's education and community programme.
She developed Club Classical, the BBCCO's series of chill out concerts featuring her arrangements of contemporary and classical music. The premiere in October 2002 was hugely successful, and led to an album with EMI Classics and a performance in February 2003 at Brixton Academy.
Anne's other life as a film and TV composer keeps her busy writing scores for films such as The Full Monty (for which she won an Oscar for the Best Original Score in 1998), Buster, Pushing Tin and The Crying Game; and for TV programmes and adverts such as Jeeves & Wooster, Kavanagh QC, Stella Artois and Guiness. Anne is also a producer and arranger, and works with artists such as ABC, Boyzone, Travis, Elton John, the Spice Girls and S Club 7.
During the 1980s Anne was a founder member of The Art of Noise, whose pioneering attitude towards sampling has extended to music production of today. Their hits included Moments in Love, Close to the Edit and Crusoe. Since the demise of The Art of Noise Anne has recorded two solo albums for EMI, the acclaimed Ancient and Modern and A Different Light. |
