What does it feel like to hear your music performed by a 50-piece orchestra at AIR Studios in London? 🎼✨

For Alonso Del Carpio MM’ 25, the experience was nothing short of transformative. As part of the scoring for film, television, and video games program Final Recording Project, he had the opportunity to conduct his original composition Sapiens, which explores humanity's search for meaning and the need to reconnect with what makes us human.

Beyond hearing his own work brought to life by world-class musicians, one of the most memorable parts of the experience for Del Carpio was witnessing his classmates' creative journeys. From the first ideas and challenges, to the moment they stepped onto the podium to lead the orchestra.

This week, the program’s class of 2026 will embark on the same extraordinary experience. We can’t wait to see their music come to life!! 🎬🎻
