PETER SENCHUK

Composer Peter Senchuk

Canadian composer Peter Senchuk (ASCAP) has scored over twenty short and independent feature films since relocating to Los Angeles, including the gold medal winner at the 1st Park City Film and Music Festival, The Five Stages of Beer directed by Brian Mix, the 61st Venice International Film Festival Official Selection, The Arsonist directed by Myles Sorensen, and the 06 Female Eye Film Fest "Best Feature," Eve of Understanding directed by Alyson Shelton.

A jazz trombonist, Peter writes for both film and the concert hall, with commissions for pieces featuring solo trombone, flute trio and symphonic band. The Los Angeles Flute Orchestra commissioned his work "Under The Sun," which was released on their debut album The Stroke of Twelve. Peter was also commissioned by world-renowned Bandurist Victor Mishalow to write a suite for solo bandura, the national instrument of the Ukraine. Mishalow, based in Toronto, has given recitals and made appearances in North America, Europe and Australia, with solo bandura performances at Carnegie Hall, Massey Hall and the Sydney Opera House.

Peter studied composition and jazz studies at Wayne State, where he was granted the Lefevre Award ('96), the Eisenbury Composition Prize ('97) and The Detroit Music Society Excellence Award ('98), then attended the University of Southern California's Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television advanced degree program. He assisted composers Steve Edwards and John Frizzell for two years before opening his own project studio in West Los Angeles.

He is managed by Karrie Vickery, Bleu Jean Management. Contact Peter to discuss your project and score needs.
