Info

Stephen Melillo's works range from interactive video scores to three symphonies commissioned by Gerhardt Zimmerman and the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra, a Concerto for Violin & Orchestra composed for Anne Akiko Meyers, and over 14 hours of Music commissioned for Wind & Percussion Ensembles of the 3rd Millennium.
His scoring work includes 13 feature films and Music which has appeared on 28 network television programs. He scored the Academy-Award-nominated 12:01PM and the Emmy-nominated Actress Works.

Stephen's film-scoring text, Music To Picture was completed during the scoring and orchestration of Academy Award-nominated 12:01PM. He implemented the film scoring program at the State University of New York at Purchase and as author of MIDIMAST, sponsored by the Ford Foundation, he trained teachers and taught inner-city students mathematics and science concepts via musical composition.
Simply by word-of-mouth, Stephen's pioneering, self-publishing entity known as STORMWORKS has gone from 0 to thousands of worldwide renderings in just 4 years.

Stephen is a many-times recipient of ASCAP Special Awards in Concert Music and has guest conducted and recorded with some of the worlds finest ensembles. His students now enjoy a range of musical careers as teachers, and professional musicians in an eclectic range from television jazz bands to studio musicians to members of major symphony orchestras.

Stephen studied conducting with Jens Nygaard and Atilio Poto, a student of Arturo Toscanini.
Varied educators, conductors and commissioning parties have termed Stephen Melillo's work a new voice in the direction of music.

For the clarinet players this piece also offers access to a specific secret – the register change. Stephen Melillo created the clarinet parts of “Break of the Code” to offer a certain challenge regarding the register change, but in an educationally appropriate way. This exciting concert piece helps young instrumentalists to successfully deal with the double...
