The London Soundtrack Festival was created to reflect the ever-increasing interest and enthusiasm for film, TV and games music and to acknowledge that London is one of the most important centres for soundtracks in the world, with its legendary studios, musicians, facilities and leading creative artists from across all music disciplines.

The annual festival features major names in the film, TV and Games music industry, the best orchestras and iconic venues across the capital. It’s an unmissable date in the diary for all fans and concert-goers young and old, bringing the best music and performers to a wide audience with a packed programme of concerts, screenings, masterclasses and Q&As.

The London Soundtrack Festival is inspired by the life and music of our friend Christopher Gunning, the multi-award-winning composer best known for his music on TV and film, including the iconic theme to ITV’s Poirot (starring David Suchet) as well as his BAFTA-winning score to the movie La Vie En Rose and famous ad campaigns for Martini and Black Magic. Following his untimely death in March 2023, Chris’s widow Svitlana wanted to create a festival that would match Chris’s extraordinary talent, skill and his infectious, enthusiastic spirit. In his honour, each year we present the Gunning Inspiration Award to a figure in the industry who has made a lasting impact on music with distinction and craft.
