Melissa Parmenter is a pianist, composer and BAFTA-nominated film producer. She released her critically acclaimed mini-album Messapica in 2020, receiving support from the likes of Classic FM, Scala Radio, The Line of Best Fit and Edith Bowman's Soundtracking podcast. A beautifully crafted fusion of piano and cello, it was inspired by the church bells and olive trees of Puglia, the region of Italy she calls home.
Working alongside director Michael Winterbottom she produced many important films such as The Road to Guantanamo, Greed, The Trip series with Steve Coogan & Rob Brydon, This England, starring Kenneth Branagh, and Shoshana which recently premiered at the BFI London Film Festival.
Her passion for music and film often comes together through her scoring work, composing music for films such as Genova, starring Colin Firth and Catherine Keener, and The Killer Inside Me, starring Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson.
A brilliant and experienced pianist, her performances mix her intoxicating classical works alongside her vivacious sense of humour. Melissa will release new music this spring.
