Anne Dudley

A Grammy-winning founding member of the pioneering 1980s electronic pop trio the Art of Noise, Anne Dudley has embarked on a successful career as a film composer later in the decade. Her solo recording debut, 1995's Ancient and Modern, explored the classical side of her musical range with orchestral and choral works. Dudley won the Academy Award for her score to the 1997 comedy hit The Full Monty before the Art of Noise briefly reunited for 1999's The Seduction of Claude Debussy. She went on to compose music for movies including Bright Young Things (2003) and Tristan & Isolde (2006), and her work on TV's Poldark (2015-2019) was nominated for a BAFTA. Her projects in the 2020s spanned scores for Paul Verhoeven's Benedetta (2021) and an Apple TV+ retelling of The Velveteen Rabbit (2023) as well as 2022's Crossing the Bar, a solo set of piano-based instrumentals.
