Enrica has a diverse and impressive CV, and works across many musical disciplines. Over the past few years she has excelled in music to screen composition. A former pianist, she started her career in screen composition in 2005, achieving outstanding recognitions such as her MMus in Composition for Screen at the Royal College of Music of London (2010, awarded with distinction) and the First Prize at the Premio Petrassi International Competition (2009, Latina, Italy; head of jury: Ennio Morricone). She moved in UK in 2008; in only the year 2009-2010 she had composed soundtracks in Italy and UK for more than 20 independent films, documentaries, animations and commercials. Her experience was enhanced by having been Oscar Prize winning composer Luis Bacalov’s assistant from 2005 to 2007, working as orchestrator, copyist and editor of some of his works (Psalmi, Musica nel Pallone, Missa Tango).
