Berklee College of Music collaboration

We're proud and honored to be collaborating with the esteemed Berklee College of Music.

We're developing an orchestral library that’s specifically tailored to the needs of their film scoring curriculum—it will be available in Fall 2021. And that’s not all—we’ll be working with Berklee on some other interesting ideas throughout the year.
