London Scholle is a Cincinnati based composer for film music, concert works, and more. He composes his music with a delicate touch and a nod to the masters, but with his love of folk and jazz, he also injects unique whimsical and spirited flavors. 

London shares, “I write music because I genuinely love it. I love the excitement of coming up with a new idea, the intensity of composing the music, and the pride that comes with sharing my work with others. To connect with the world by creating passionate, layered and intoxicating music is my ultimate goal.”

Along with his love of composition, he is also an accordionist. He regularly plays gigs around Cincinnati and even played accordion with the Cincinnati POPS Orchestra for Ragtime in concert April 28-30, 2023 at Music Hall. Along with performing, he is also an accordion teacher both privately and at the Immanuel School of Music. 

London is a student at Berklee College of Music in Boston but is studying online. “I’m shooting for the stars,” said Scholle. After he finishes his Bachelor’s degree, he plans to pursue his Masters of Music Composition. 

London comments that “I am proud to be an accordionist. Accordions have a rich heritage in the Americas and I strive to honor that and to continue its legacy. I write for and perform on the accordion because I feel that I can express myself in ways that I cannot on other instruments. It has such rich sonic and artistic capabilities that continually enchant me. My favorite part of being an accordionist is seeing the curiosity that it elicits from everyone who hears it. When I am done performing, there is always a line of people with questions and I just love that. There really is something magical about the instrument and even as someone who plays it everyday, the magic never fades.”
