Pegram, Jules
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 latest film work includes the original score to the 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).
Commissioned by a consortium of 17 American universities and designed as a sweeping musical travelogue through the City of Angels, Pegram’s L.A.tudes for Band was recently recognized as a finalist for the 2023 National Band Association Revelli Award, and his Concerto for Alto Saxophone & Wind Ensemble, written for saxophonist Andrew Harrison, was awarded the Frederick Fennell Prize by the American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers (ASCAP) and the College Band Directors National Association (CBDNA).
