Los Angeles-based composer Jules Pegram's music has been performed by the American Composers Orchestra, Cabrillo Festival Orchestra, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Longwood Symphony Orchestra, Naples Philharmonic, New World Symphony, Reno Pops Orchestra, and Symphony in C, among others, and has been recorded by the Hollywood Studio Symphony-conducted by the composer-at Warner Bros. Studios and 20th Century Fox Studios.
Pegram's recent film work includes the original score to the upcoming feature-length documentary Choral Singing in America: Nurturing the Country's Soul (2024, Collaborative Films). In July 2021, Pegram could be found leading orchestral sessions at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios, serving as conductor and orchestrator for Sturdivant Adams' evocative score to Prisoners of Paradise (AMG International Film). Collaborations with filmmakers date back to Pegram's formative years scoring shorts at USC and later to work for the Traverse City Film Festival, and his film scoring studies have included participation in the ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop in Los Angeles, the inaugural Los Angeles Film Conducting Intensive, and the Society of Composers & Lyricists Mentor Program. Pegram received the ASCAP Foundation Harold Arlen Film & TV Award, presented annually to an outstanding writer who has participated in the ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop.
Classically trained, Pegram earned doctoral and master's degrees in composition with a cognate in conducting from the University of Michigan (2018, 2015) after receiving the Bachelor of Music in Composition from the University of Southern California (2013), studying with multiple Grammy Award-winner Michael Daugherty, Oscar nominee Bruce Broughton, Erica Muhl, Frank Ticheli, and Morten Lauridsen, among others. Pegram lives in West Hollywood, California.
