SHORT STORY
With an intense interest in music and performance, especially music theory, counterpoint, analysis, and notation, April DiDomenico went to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA ('19-'23). After graduating Summa Cum Laude with her Bachelor degrees in Film Scoring and Composition with a minor in Contemporary Conducting, April moved to Los Angeles to pursue her career as an Orchestrator, Copyist, Conductor, and Music Librarian.
​
During her time at Berklee, April received the Michael Kamen Award ('22) and the BMI Scholarship Award ('22) from the Film Scoring department for her work as a film composer and her collaboration within the department.
​
While working as the Film Scoring dept. assistant, she had the opportunity to collaborate and work with students in an Advanced Orchestration course for 4 semesters. This is where her love for orchestration and being part of a composer's team truly began to take shape. Every week she was helping student composer's to print, proof, and prep their work to be recorded in the Shames Family Scoring Stage at Berklee, where she would help as a booth reader and record take notes.
​
She had also re-orchestrated and prepped works for visiting artists such as Alan Silvestri, Nami Melumad, Dara Taylor, and Stephanie Economou.
​
Among her time there, she also had the opportunity to work on the music for the Berklee Alumni Awards events as an Orchestra Manager and Librarian for the 2022 awards honoring Pinar Toprak and as an Arranger, Copyist, and Conductor for the 2023 awards honoring Amie Doherty, Quinton Morris, Mark Kelley, Tommy Torres, and Courtney Harrell.
​
Beyond this work she was also a leading member of the board and the Head Librarian for the Berklee Motion Picture Orchestra for 5 semesters, where she also arranged two works for the group to perform in concert.
​
Since moving to Los Angeles, April has been working as a Copyist and Orchestrator with Joy Music House where she has worked on projects such as Presumed Innocent, Red White & Royal Blue, Turning Point: The Bomb and The Cold War, The Exorcist: Believer, Scout's Honor: The Secret Files of the Boy Scouts of America, and many more.
​
She has also orchestrated and co-arranged Kathaj Copley's Nova for a 93-piece orchestra for an orchestral album to be released in Summer of 2024 celebrating NASA's Chandra-X Telescope. This was conducted by April and was recorded at Sony Scoring Stage in June 2024.
FULL STORY
Growing up, I have always had an intense interest in music, and performance, especially music theory, counterpoint, analysis, and notation. ​
​
Ever since I can remember, movies have been at the forefront of my life--even before music. Movies have
been the constant to connect my family and eventually, it just clicked for me to connect the two most important paths in my life; Music and Movies.
​
With this, I studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA ('19-'23) and received my degree as a double major in Film Scoring and Composition, with a minor in Contemporary Conducting.
​
Studying there, I had learned that orchestration, conducting, copying, and music librarian work were my main passions.
