August Murphy-King
- Composer
From scoring films, to researching rap, to running a concert series dedicated to new Canadian music, to hauling percussion around southern Ontario, to helping an entire class of students collectively compose a piece for symphony orchestra, composer August Murphy-King has worn a wide array of hats throughout his musical career.
After honing his craft as a composer of contemporary concert music and completing a doctorate in composition at the University of Toronto, he made his first foray into film music in 2019, composing music for the Irish-Canadian feature film 'The Winter Lake.' A strong believer in collaboration, August works closely with directors, writers, performers, and content creators to help breath musical life into their projects
