Show Notes
In this episode of pplpod, we explore the visionary career of Hugh Tieppo-Brunt, a prominent British conductor who serves as the Co-Artistic Director and Co-Principal Conductor of the London Contemporary Orchestra. We trace his musical roots from his early days as a chorister at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, to his time as a music scholar at both Radley College and New College, Oxford.
Discover how Tieppo-Brunt and violist Robert Ames co-founded the London Contemporary Orchestra (LCO) in 2008, a move that fundamentally shaped the modern orchestral landscape. This episode highlights his extensive, cross-genre film score work, including conducting Jonny Greenwood's acclaimed soundtrack for Paul Thomas Anderson's 2012 film The Master, as well as Jed Kurzel's score for the 2015 film Macbeth.
We also dive deep into his iconic contemporary music projects, particularly his breathtaking string and choir arrangements on Radiohead's hit 2016 album, A Moon Shaped Pool. Finally, we discuss his incredibly diverse portfolio of collaborations as a conductor and arranger with celebrated artists across different genres, such as Beck, Foals, Imogen Heap, Actress, and The Smile.
Tune in for an inspiring look at how one of the most exciting 21st-century British conductors is bridging the gap between classical orchestral traditions and modern pop, indie, and electronic music!
