BrowsingVolker Bertelmann is an internationally acclaimed pianist, composer and experimental musician. In 2023 he was honored with an Academy Award® and a BAFTA in the Best Score category for his work on Edward Berger’s All Quiet on the Western Front. That same year Bertelmann scored One Life, starring Anthony Hopkins. Most recently, he scored the upcoming feature The Crow (for Lionsgate) and the series “Dune: Prophecy” (Max).
Bertelmann’s score to Garth Davis’ Oscar® nominee Lion, which he composed in collaboration with Dustin O’Halloran, was nominated for multiple awards including Best Original Score at the Academy Awards® and Golden Globes, Best Score at the Critics’ Choice Awards and Best Film Music at the BAFTAs.

Bertelmann’s output is prodigious; he has produced more than 20 albums and EPs, both solo and in collaboration with others, and tours extensively. The composer has worked with the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra, where he was the artist in residence, the Icelandic experimental musical group Múm and the Grammy-winning violinist Hilary Hahn.
