Biography

In Italian, of course, Dolceamore means "sweet love." In music for the silver screen, it also means rapid, versatile, inspired, richly trained, an award-winning composer, and accomplished conductor and educator.

After receiving an MFA in music composition from Tulane University, Ms. Dolceamore trained at USC where she studied film composition with masters' Jerry Goldsmith, Bruce Broughton and Buddy Baker. Since graduating from the Advanced Study Program, she has gone on to create original scores for national commercials, independent films and features for studios such as Columbia Tristar, Fox Family Channel and Lifetime.

In 2013 she scored an award winning feature documentary "Standing Silent" and "Derby Stallion" starring Zac Ephron, an Independent film by the Battista Brothers entitled "Crooks", and a stage play entitled "Jonna's Body, Please Hold" that premiered in Los Angeles at the Odyssey Theater. Her next film score for "The Jade Pendant" will begin in March of 2016. The tragic love story is set against the backdrop of the Los Angeles Chinatown War of 1871, and stars Clara Lee and Godfrey Gao, directed by Po Chih Leong.

In addition, she scored "Young Hearts Unlimited" for the Fox Family Channel, "Invisible Child", a Lifetime Channel original drama starring Rita Wilson and Victor Garbor, and "Soccer Dog, The Movie", an HBO family film, "Mulligans" starring Tippi Hedren, as well as numerous award winning festival films.

She has received various commissions, as well as a National Endowment for the Arts Award. Most recently she was an invited guest conductor for the Millenium Choir and Orchestra in Prato, Italy. The concert was attended by over 2,000 people and featured the music and vocals of Beppe Cantarelli and soprano Giovanna Gattuso.

"A virtuoso in both composition and interpretation, Victoria Dolceamore brings sweet love to her art - along with impressive credentials, deep dedication and creative ability in just about every mood, shade, coloration, and aesthetic approach a filmmaker could possibly require."
