Marguerite de Galbert
COMPOSER FOR THE SCREEN & Stage
"The most sensitive musical instrument is the human soul.
The next is the human voice.
One must purify the soul until it begins to sound.
Through the music the composer can check whether his instrument is tuned, and to what key it is tuned."
Arvo Pärt
ABOUT
"I unfold my musical language to bring your stories to life."
Marguerite is a composer for film and stage, creating music that drives narrative and emotion with instinct and intensity. Based in Paris, she writes for feature and short films, animation, video games, and live performance, alongside her work as a conductor and musical theatre artist. Her work has been distinguished by international recognition, including the Apulia Soundtrack Awards, the Oticons Faculty Competition, and Valence Scenario.
A lifelong multi-instrumentalist, she explored experimental music at King’s College London before before pursuing advanced training at the Film Scoring Academy of Europe. There, she refined her craft in film composition, orchestration, computer-assisted music, and studio recording under the guidance of renowned composers and mentors including Andy Hill, Conrad Pope, Christopher Young, and Mikolai Stroinski.
Rooted in her Breton heritage and shaped by travel, Marguerite’s musical language draws from folk traditions and improvisation, with strong Celtic, African, Oriental, and Balkan influences. Her music is defined by authenticity and audacity, blending orchestral writing, world music, vocals, electronics, and sound design to create bold, immersive scores in service of story.
