Aaron Zigman ”Love And Kindness” talks orchestrating THE NOTEBOOK

Aaron Zigman (aaronzigman.com) is an award-winning composer who has scored more than 60 major Hollywood films and influenced other musicians and songwriters. In 2020, Grammy winner and top performing artist Billie Eilish listed Zigman’s work along with other notable musicians as inspiring songs on her recent platinum album. As a classically trained pianist, composer and conductor he has a degree of versatility rarely seen. His deep classical roots combined with his background in writing and producing songs for many of music's greatest performers (Aretha Franklin, John Legend, Christina Aguilera, Phil Collins, Seal, Natalie Cole and more) has given him the ability to traverse all styles of music to develop some of the industry’s most memorable film scores across diverse genres, such as the iconic The Notebook—one of six collaborations with award-winning director Nick Cassavetes—which consistently ranks in the top ten of romantic classics and has sold a record number of soundtracks.  Zigman has scored other hit films that include, but are not limited to, Bridge to Terabithia, John Q., The Proposal, The Ugly Truth, Alpha Dog, My Sister's Keeper, Sex & the City I & II, Escape from Planet Earth.  Zigman also scored the niche films Flash of Genius, The Company Men, and The Shack, featuring Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer.
