Composer for ballet, tv, film and theatre

Peter Salem’s original score is excellent. He is able to capture mood, and the motif of a ticking clock works well to express tedium. His swirling, romantic ballroom music, his menacing Lheureux sections, and his rapturous duet are wonderful. As they say, like hand to glove, score to story.

Peter Salem’s score, performed by just five musicians, propels the narrative while retaining key elements of the Latin sound … A production this sharp, transformative and fun renders any words written about it unsatisfactory. To understand it, just go see it.
