Composer, arranger, producer and performer, Anne Dudley is a multi-talented and critically acclaimed musician.
Her scores include "Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again", "Elle", “The Crying Game”, ”Pushing Tin” and the long-running TV series “Jeeves and Wooster”. Anne won an Oscar in 1998 for “The Full Monty”.
Her music was a major part of the BBC drama "Poldark" which ran for five series. The soundtrack entered the Classical charts at number two.
Other scores Anne has completed include the animated feature for the BBC/S4C entitled “The Miracle Maker” (the story of the New Testament with Ralph Fiennes as the voice of Jesus), and a ten part drama for HBO - “The Tenth Kingdom”. Anne scored Tony Kayes’s first feature for New Line Cinema, “American History X”. Her long working relationship with Tony has resulted in many award-winning commercials such as Volvo (“Twister”) Vauxhall Astra (“Hundreds of Babies”), Reebok (“Field of Dreams”) and Guinness (“Fishing”). In addition she has been scoring the outstanding Stella Artois commercials for several years.
She scored Stephen Fry’s acclaimed debut feature “Bright Young Things”. In December 2007 the Old Vic production of Cinderella, adapted by Stephen Fry, included songs and incidental music composed by Anne. The show was a sell out for its entire run and may be revived very soon.
Her score for the BBC drama “The Key” was nominated for an Ivor Novello award as was her music for "Trial and Retribution". Both series one and two of "Poldark" were nominated for a BAFTA.
She also scored the acclaimed and controversial "Elle" (a César award winner for best film) for director Paul Verhoeven. The score was awarded the prestigious French SACEM award in 2017.
Anne was the recipient of an Ivor Novello Award for outstanding contribution to British music in 2017.
