MOSMA will also be taking music out onto the streets as smaller format ensemble concerts performing some of the best-known pieces from the history of cinema.

On Wednesday 29th June, in the Teatro Cervantes, the Málaga Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by maestro Pablo Urbina and maestro Arturo Díez Boscovich, will perform the music of the late Michael Kamen. The family of this prestigious composer will be on hand and be presented a special recognition in honor of his long career.
During the closing concert on Saturday July 2nd in the Teatro Cervantes, the MOSMA Awards will be presented to recognize the most outstanding composers of the year. There will be a concert of this music performed by the Málaga Philharmonic Orchestra and the Ziryab Choir, conducted by the maestro Díez Boscovich.
MOSMA has several chapters of the festival, each dedicated to one of the festival guests: MOSMA HONORED dedicated to the family of Michael Kamen (Mr. Holland’s Opus), MOSMA SCREEN TV to Sean Callery, MOSMA HOMELAND to Roque Baños, MOSMA PREMIERE to Federico Jusid, MOSMA MAESTRO to Jan A. P. Kaczmarek, MOSMA DISTANT WORLDS to Kenji Kawai, MOSMA VINTAGE to Pino Donaggio and MOSMA MAIN THEME to Craig Armstrong.

GUEST ARTISTS:
CRAIG ARMSTRONG
Born in 1959 in Glasgow, Craig Armstrong trained at the Royal Academy of Music in London. On his return to Glasgow, Armstrong became in-house composer at the influential Tron Theatre. His early work, scoring for theatrical productions such as Michael Boyd’s radical 1993 interpretation of Macbeth, laid the foundations for a spectacular career in film.
Since the mid-’90s, he has created scores for both Hollywood and independent films, from Peter Mullan’s The Close Trilogy to BAFTA, Golden Globe and Novello award-winning soundtracks for Baz Luhrmann’s William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge! Many more films have benefited from Armstrong’s expert touch, including Richard Curtis’s Love Actually, Taylor Hackford’s Oscar-winning biopic Ray and Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk. Armstrong has composed three scores for Oliver Stone: World Trade Center, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and the 2015 documentary TV series Untold History of the United States. In 2013, he collaborated with Baz Luhrmann on their third feature film together, The Great Gatsby, for which Armstrong’s score was awarded an AACTA (Best Original Music Score award) and received a Grammy nomination. Most recently, his scoring talents can be heard in the feature films Victor Frankenstein and Far from the Madding Crowd. Upcoming film projects include Snowden, his fourth collaboration with Oliver Stone.
Alongside his scoring work, Armstrong has built an impressive repertoire of both popular and classical music. He collaborated with trip-hop outfit Massive Attack on the platinum-selling Protection, and his talents for arranging, remixing and composition have been called upon by names as diverse as the London Sinfonietta, Yoko Ono, the Barbican and Sakamoto.
Armstrong’s orchestral works include Gesualdo, an operetta commissioned by Scottish Opera, and acclaimed pieces for the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Cappella Nova and violinist Clio Gould. In 2012 Armstrong received a Herald Angel award for a new Scottish Opera commission The Lady from the Sea, which premiered at the Edinburgh International Festival. His solo albums include the collaborative As If to Nothing (2002) and 2004’s Piano Works. Armstrong’s third studio album It’s Nearly Tomorrow was released in 2014 on BMG Chrysalis. In 2010 he accepted an OBE at the Palace of Holyroodhouse for his contribution to music.
FEDERICO JUSID
Federico Jusid is a Spanish composer, born in Buenos Aires, who resides and works between Madrid and Los Angeles. He has written the scores for more than 30 feature films and over 15 television series. His work includes the score for the Academy Award®-winner for Best Foreign Film THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES (2009, Dir. by Juan José Campanella), for which he received the nomination for the Spanish Academy Goya Award® for Best Original Score.
He has recently worked with Alberto Iglesias writing additional compositions for the original score of Ridley Scott´s EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS, and he has also composed the soundtrack for KIDNAP (Luis Prieto) with Halle Berry, to be released later this year, and HAPPY 140 (Gracia Querejeta). Other notable scores include THE LIFE UNEXPECTED (Jorge Torregrossa), EVERYBODY HAS A PLAN (Anna Piterbarg), THE ESCAPE (Eduardo Mignogna), THE HIDDEN FACE (Andrés Baiz), I WANT TO BE YOUR SOLDIER (Christian Molina), and more recently THE IGNORANCE OF BLOOD (Manuel Gómez Pereira) or BETIBU (Miguel Cohan).
On television, his most recognized work is the soundtrack for the Spanish historical drama ISABEL, MY QUEEN with whom he won several awards, such as International Film Music Critics Association (IFMCA) Award and Reel Music Award. In 2015 he made the score for the TV series UNDER SUSPICION and THE REFUGEES (co-production with BBC International) and prepared the original score of CHARLES, KING EMPEROR, sequel to ISABEL, MY QUEEN. He has also composed works for concert hall for various chamber ensembles, choir and soloists.
JAN A. P. KACZMAREK
Jan A. P. Kaczmarek is a composer with a tremendous international reputation that continues to grow. As a successful recording artist and touring musician, Jan turned to composing film scores as his primary occupation.
Jan's first success in the United States came in theater. After composing striking scores for productions at Chicago's Goodman Theatre and Los Angeles' Mark Taper Forum, Jan won an Obie and a Drama Desk Award for his music for the New York Shakespeare Festival's 1992 production of John Ford's "Tis Pity She's A Whore," directed by JoAnne Akalaitis, starring Val Kilmer and Jeanne Tripplehorn. Newsday wrote that Jan's score "undulates with hypnotic force that gets under your skin," while Frank Rich of the New York Times found it worthy of the films of Bernardo Bertolucci and Luchino Visconti. Educated as a lawyer, he abandoned his planned career as a diplomat, for political reasons, to write music in order to finally gain freedom of expression. First he composed for the highly politicized underground theater, and then for a mini-orchestra of his own creation, "The Orchestra of the Eighth Day". The major turning point in his life, he says, was a period of intense study with avant-garde theater director, Jerzy Grotowski.
Jan returned to America in 1989 to find a label for his latest composition for the Orchestra. Jan stayed in the United States where he expanded his horizons by composing for theater as he had already done in Poland with great success, capped by two prestigious New York theater awards in 1992. Having also composed music for films in Poland, he focused his attention to that medium, achieving recognition as a film composer with scores to such films as Total Eclipse, Bliss, Washington Square, Aimée & Jaguar, The Third Miracle, Lost Souls, Edges of the Lord, Quo Vadis and Adrian Lyne's Unfaithful.
February 2005, Jan won his first Oscar for Best Original Score on Marc Forster's highly acclaimed film, Finding Neverland. J.A.P.K. also won The National Review Board's award for Best Score of the Year, and was nominated for both a Golden Globe and BAFTA's Anthony Asquith Award for Achievement in Film Music. In addition to his work in films, Jan was commissioned to write two symphonic and choral pieces for two important national occasions in Poland Cantata for Freedom to celebrate 25th anniversary of Solidarity movement, and oratorio 1956 to commemorate 50th anniversary of bloody uprising against totalitarian government in Poznan, Poland. Both premiers were broadcast live on national television. Jan is also setting up an Institute inspired by the Sundance Institute, in his home country of Poland, as a European center for development of new work in the areas of film, theatre, music and new media.

From that point he began to compose for legendary Anime series such as Ranma, Devilman, Mobile Suite Gundam and Patlabor. To date he has composed more than 200 soundtracks for Japanese Animation.
