Many congratulations to alumnus David Schweitzer (New College, 1994) whose score for World War II: From the Frontlines has won Outstanding Music for a Documentary at this year's News & Documentary Emmy Awards. It was great to read about David in his alumni profile in this year's Oxford Musician magazine.

David writes on his website:

 I was incredibly excited to pick up this wonderful (and surprisingly heavy) piece of metal for the music to World War II: From the Frontlines last week at the Documentary Emmys in New York. Thanks to Netflix and 72 Films (especially Rob Coldstream) for asking me to work on this fantastic series, and to all the brilliant musicians who helped me with the score: Jon Wigeons, Gus Nicholson, Alec Roberts, Flora Curzon, Nick Holland, the Fames Orchestra in Macedonia, and Darrell, Aria & Ollie at Cool Music.
