Henrik Skram HARPA nominated 2018 for his score for 'Synne Teksum's Snøfall'
​
Henrik started playing the piano and composing music at an early age, and studied classical composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, where he was awarded the 1st Prize in the Lutoslawski Prize for Young Composers. 
In 2011, he scored the feature film 90 MINUTES which received international acclaim, and the score was nominated to both an Amanda Award and shortlisted for the World Soundtrack Awards (Public Choice Award). Scoremagazine wrote: «..if you want my advice, do not pass on this one. It's beautiful. Up there with Zbigniew Preisner's mesmerizing waltzes and musical fields, or the beautiful themes of Jan A.P.Kaczmarek. Chamber-musical and melancholic, it's a must-listen for this year». 
In 2015, Henrik won the Golden Screen Award for Best Original Music, for the documentary BALLET BOYS. He was also nominated for the International Film Music Critics Award (IFMCA) for the same film.
After scoring several feature films in Norway, he worked with Danish filmmaker Henrik Ruben Genz on the score for TORDENSKJOLD & KOLD in 2015.  
​In 2016, Henrik scored the 24-episode TV-series SNOWFALL for which he won his second Golden Screen Award. This year, Henrik premiered his comissioned work EMERGE for cello and orchestra with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra, and he is currently composing his first full length ballet for the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet in Oslo with choreographer Alan Lucien Øyen.

Nomination text
​
SNØFALL [SNOW FALL] is a 24-episode advent series for children that aired on NRK Super in December-2017. It encapsulates all the moods and nostalgia of the holiday season, as young orphan Selma is transported to the fairytale land of Snowfall, hoping to find a new family. For the series, composer Henrik Skram provides a lavish score, crossing genuine Norwegian soundscapes with the more extrovert instrumentation tropes of Hollywood. Celeste, bells and the full force of the Norwegian Radio Orchestra envelop the spectator in full holiday spirit, as a myriad of leitmotifs and pastoral colours add an almost mythological scope to Selma's journey. This is a rare example of sophisticated orchestral writing in Norwegian film and TV that does not shy away from immediate emotional resonance. As such, it is unquestionably the best media score of the year, according to the Norwegian jury.

Jury members: Thor Joachim Haga, Kjetil Bjerkestrand, Kate Havnevik
