Anthony Weeden is a conductor, composer and orchestrator with a keen desire to step beyond traditional musical boundaries. His award-winning work for the film and TV industry, orchestrating and conducting Jóhann Jóhannsson’s score to The Theory of Everything (Golden Globe winner for Best Original Score in 2015) and Sicario (a Lionsgate film starring Emily Blunt and Josh Brolin directed by Denis Villeneuve), and orchestrating David Arnold and Michael Price’s score to BBC TV series Sherlock (Emmy, 2014), demonstrates why leading film composers consistently choose to work with him. His ability to work in diverse musical styles and genres, his friendly approach and wide-ranging repertoire knowledge ensure Weeden is in demand with orchestras and ensembles around the world.
Anthony studied music at both the University of Durham (1993-6) and then the Royal College of Music (1997-1999) as a conductor.
At the end of his first year at Durham University, Anthony was appointed conductor of the Durham University Symphony Orchestra, keeping the post of his remaining two years. In 1997, Anthony won a scholarship to study conducting at the Royal College of Music. He studied with Neil Thompson, Edwin Roxburgh and John Carewe, took masterclasses with Daniele Gatti, Jorma Panula and Gerhard Markson, and prepared the RCM Symphony orchestra for the distinguished visits of Lorin Maazel and Daniele Gatti.
After winning the August Manns prize for conducting two years consecutively, he then became the first ever winner of the Norman Del Mar conducting prize in 1999, receiving one of the later Norman Del Mar's batons from Sir David Willcocks. Soon after graduating from the Royal College of Music in 1999, Anthony worked with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain as Orchestral Manager for a year, working behind the scenes with one of the largest and most exciting orchestras in the country.
In March 1999 Anthony was recorded and broadcast by BBC Radio 3, conducting the Royal College of Music Symphony Orchestra in Debussy's Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune as part of the Youth Orchestra's of the world programme, and the same year by Lyric FM appearing with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland (RTE) in the National Concert Hall, Dublin, conducting Brahms' First Symphony and then again the following year conducting Beethoven's Eroica Symphony.
