TOM BIMMERMANN, FILM COMPOSER/CONDUCTOR

Welcome to the TOM BIMMERMANN, FILM COMPOSER/CONDUCTOR website! Check back frequently for updates. Composing his first symphony at the age of 13, this music savant forfeited the typical advanced classical composer training to write for opera, andelected to come to Los Angeles to compose for film. Born in Esch-Alzette, Luxembourg, Tom was a mere seven-years-old when his passion and talent for music was first recognized. After beginning piano lessons, now just 13-years-old, Tom progressed to an almostunheard of plateau in a young composer's pedagogy - he composed his Symphony No. 1 in E Flat Major, Op. 9. Four piano sonatas had preceded the work. Later that year, he was awarded "Best Composition" at a youth competition in Brussels, Belgium, where he gave a speech before the European Parliament. The following year, Tom composed a minuet for three strings and pianothat was part of a command performance before Her Majesty the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxemburg, Maria Theresa. In a very short time, Tom scored his first motion picture, June Cabin, produced and directed by Ross Otterman. Recording with a 27-piece orchestra, Tom reached into his classical training to bring a most haunting score to the screen. Tom truly practices the fine art of film scoring, evolving from similar roots of training that brought us the greats of film scoring in Hollywood, andnot film scoring by sound design or by "ear." His journey into motion pictures has begun. Tom is a resident of Los Angeles, California, and Esch-Alzette, Luxembourg.
