Amit Poznansky (b. 1974) is a composer with a passion for creating music that bridges worlds – from film and television scores to concert, choral, jazz, and poet-songs. Alongside composing, he also works as an arranger, orchestrator, and producer across a wide range of genres, including stage and theater music, in both live and digital settings.

One of the highlights of his career was writing the score for Joseph Cedar’s Footnote – an Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Film and winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival – performed by the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra under Maestro Doron Salomon. That same score was later adapted into an orchestral suite, performed by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Maestro Zubin Mehta, including during their USA and Canada tour at Carnegie Hall and Disney Hall, and most recently by the Redwood Symphony Orchestra (California) in 2022.

In 2013, he was honored with the Best Original Score Award at the International Samobor Film Music Festival, where the jury included John P. Corigliano, Richard King, Randy Thom, and Mark Dornford-May.

Since 2010, Poznansky has composed music for more than 35 films – including full-length features, shorts, TV series, documentaries, and animated works. In parallel, he has released eight solo albums since the early 2000s, featuring songs he composed and performed to the lyrics of celebrated poets.

In 2020, he released Horizons, a collection of his jazz and fusion compositions performed by some of Israel’s leading musicians. His upcoming album, to be released in late 2025, features thirteen songs he composed, arranged, and performed to the poetry of Osip Mandelstam, translated into Hebrew by Rita Kogan.

For almost eight years now, Poznansky has also been working remotely from his studio in Tel Aviv as an arranger, orchestrator, music producer, and mockup-artist across a variety of musical styles, through platforms like AirGigs.com and SoundBetter.com. He has had the joy of joining wonderful projects and contributing his craft to talented musicians from around the world.
