Kerry Muzzey is a film and modern classical composer whose music can be heard on the stage as well as the big and small screens: most recently in the orchestral score for the new television version of Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibility.
Kerry is also thrilled to have just released the complete symphonic score to the ballet Casanova, recorded in Budapest in the summer of 2023 with the Budapest Art Orchestra (The Queen’s Gambit, Shadow & Bone), and now available on all streaming services and in a deluxe 2-CD set through Amazon. His past scores include the just-released documentary Studio One Forever, which takes a look back at the now-demolished legendary gay disco through the eyes of some of its original patrons who survived the AIDS epidemic; the documentary Look & See: A Portrait of Wendell Berry from executive producers Robert Redford and Terrence Malick and producer Nick Offerman; Hole in the Paper Sky, the first film from Jessica Biel’s production company Iron Ocean Films; and To Russia With Love, the Sundance Films documentary executive-produced by Oscar nominee Howard Gertler of How to Survive a Plague. But this mostly-orchestral composer is probably best known for a quiet little piano piece called Looking Back that found its way into the hit TV series GLEE as a recurring love theme for the show’s two most beloved couples, Rachel & Finn and Will & Emma. Kerry’s music also found its way to #1 on the iTunes and Amazon charts after his pieces Architect of the Mind and Bernini’s Angels were choreographed and performed on the show So You Think You Can Dance.
In 2014, Kerry recorded a collection of works for string orchestra called “The Architect.” The album was recorded in the legendary Lyndhurst Hall at London’s AIR Studios by the Chamber Orchestra of London, and debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Classical Chart and the Billboard Contemporary Classical Chart. This album would later become the musical foundation for Kenneth Tindall’s ballet “Casanova.”
