I am your host, Emma Della Rossa, and today I will be interviewing Griffin Hook.
Griffin Hook (He/Him/His) is a Canadian composer based in Thornhill, Ontario. Griffin’s work is aimed toward both screen and stage, primarily focusing on the world of Wind Ensemble music. His band works have been recorded, workshopped, & premiered by the Westmount Symphonic Winds, Newmarket High School, the University of Toronto Wind Symphony, University of Toronto Wind Ensemble, and the National Youth Band of Canada. Known for writing music that is cinematic and imaginative, Griffin’s unique compositional style blends traditional concert band form with the creative energy of film scores to create pieces that are exciting & enjoyable for musicians, conductors, ensembles, and audiences alike.
As a graduate of the Comprehensive Studies program at the University of Toronto Faculty of Music and currently part of the Music Scoring for Screen & Stage program at Sheridan College, Griffin has had the opportunity to write music in collaboration with students from Sheridan Animation to create original scores for their thesis films and has partnered with students in UofT Computer Science, OCAD Digital Futures, & Centennial Game-Art to create soundtracks for independent video game projects.
Griffin also focuses in audio recording/editing, digital audio synthesis, and conducting. All works are self-published under GriffinHMusic.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
