The music of twin composers Andrew & Jared DePolo has echoed from Cleveland to Cannes in a broad body of work that includes original scores for a highly regarded advertising campaign, an award- winning documentary, an Irish dance production, and their own critically acclaimed contemporary orchestral album.
The Northeast Ohio natives have shared the screen with Oscar-nominated actors Danny Glover and Danny Aiello and have been collaborating with multiple Grammy-winner Thom Russo, producer for such artists as Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton and Jay-Z. Working with the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, Andrew & Jared’s remake of the Here We Go Brownies stadium chant has recently been barked out in unison by nearly 70,000 people filling Cleveland Browns Stadium. Their music also rings throughout the venue as epics written for Joshua Cribbs punt/kickoff returns and to stir fans – and players — prior to crucial defensive plays. On Dec. 3 2011, the Ohio Philharmonic Orchestra performed a world premier of their piece Spirit of Christmas under the direction of Italian maestro Domenico Boyagian.
Additionally, the twins are currently serving on the advisory committee for the first annual Ohio Philharmonic film and composer competition.
And they accomplished all of this and more by the age of 25.
