Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | William "Bill" Conti (born 1942), Oscar and three-time Emmy Award-winner, is one of Hollywood's most sought-after composers and conductors for both film and television, but whose talents have inexplicably fallen out of favor in recent years. Born in Providence, Rhode Island on April 13, 1942, Conti began studying piano at age seven under the tutelage of his father, an accomplished pianist, sculptor and painter. At the age of 15, he organized a band and began to play for high school dances in Miami, Florida. He was a member of his high school band and symphony orchestra and won the "Silver Knight Award" from the Miami Herald for high achievement in the field of music. After Conti received his Bachelor of Music degree from Louisiana State University, he auditioned and was accepted at the Juilliard School of Music in New York where he studied with such musical greats as Hugo Weisgall, Vincent Persichetti, Roger Sessions, Luciano Berio, and Jorge Mester. In 1965 Conti won the Marion Feschl Prize for having composed the best song of the year. He received a Bachelor of Music degree from Juilliard, followed by a Master's Degree. |
