About
I am a composer of film music based in New York City. Most of my work is for live instrumental ensembles ranging from small groups through large symphony orchestra. More information - including videos of scored film scenes, professional references and reviews can be found at www.johncalifra.com
here is an example of one such review:
In a review of Stephen Higgins&Nina Seavey's "The Matador," (a 2011 Emmy Nominee for Best Score) The New York Times Critic, Jeannette Catsoulis said: "Thrust forward by John Califra's uncommonly stirring score, the story...unfolds with more drama than most blockbusters."

I am available for original scoring of films and television productions, whether dramatic or documentary. I also control rights to a large library of my original orchestral film music - much of which is represented here on soundcloud. This material is available for licensing to productions as well.
