About

Sam Gale is a 25 year old arranger, conductor, and producer who links artists' music with orchestras. He has arranged for artists such as Olivia Dean, Florence + The Machine, dodie, Jon Hopkins, James Bay, and Hohnen-Ford, as well as the Metropole Orkest in Holland and the BBC's Symphony and Concert Orchestras.

Alongside arranging, Sam has also conducted the Metropole Orkest, the BBC Concert Orchestra, and his own Orchestra, Capital Orchestra in spaces like Cadogan Hall and the BBC's Maida Vale Studios.

He has a particular passion for lyric-led music and finding ways to further support the story & message of a song through the arrangement. Working with a wide range of artists has only added to the belief that every artist has a unique way of writing, and it is the arranger's job to compliment & support that as much as possible.
