Over the last 40 years, Larry Hochman has had one of the busiest and most extensive careers in the music business, as composer, arranger, conductor and producer.
His work encompasses recordings, concerts, television, feature films, TV commercials, theatre, and even an award-nominated video game. He is an award-winning composer (Five EMMYs for The Wonder Pets!) and orchestrator (TONY award for The Book of Mormon), and the artists he has collaborated with include Barbra Streisand, Hugh Jackman, Barry Manilow, Marvin Hamlisch, Sara Bareilles and Sir Paul McCartney.
His classical compositions have been performed worldwide, and his arranging assignments have come from The New York Philharmonic, The Boston Pops, The Big Apple Circus, Disney, Stephen Spielberg, Nickelodeon and Netflix – to name but a few.
During the 80’s & 90’s, he and Larry Gates were co-founders and co-producers of Newfound Music Productions, producing hundreds of radio and TV commercials, including the iconic (and multi-award winning) Toys ‘R’ Us and Kodak campaigns.
Since the mid-90’s he has become one of Broadway’s most sought after orchestrators. In addition to The Book of Mormon, his 18 Broadway shows include Spamalot, The Addams Family, The Scottsboro Boys and The Prom. He received his ninth TONY nomination for Kiss Me, Kate in 2019.
Larry’s original orchestral music is used in radio, TV, and films on a daily basis worldwide.
