🏆 2026 Alumni Awards | Alumni Achievement Award
Congratulations to Andrew Scott Bell ’12, recipient of the Alumni Achievement Award!
Andrew Scott Bell is an accomplished film and television composer whose music has brought stories to life on screens around the world. After studying classical orchestration, music theory, and composition at Christopher Newport University, he pursued a career in film scoring that has led to nearly 100 film and television projects since 2009.
Now based in Los Angeles, Andrew earned early recognition when his score for the short film Rocket received a Student Academy Award. Since then, he has composed music for productions including NBC’s Home Sweet Home from Oscar-nominated and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ava DuVernay, Lionsgate’s Powder Pup, Lifetime’s Psycho Storm Chaser, the internationally recognized Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey films, and the upcoming Pinocchio: Unstrung.
Known for blending the richness of classical orchestration with contemporary cinematic scoring, Andrew is also a talented multi-instrumentalist who records many of his own instrumental performances, bringing depth and emotion to his compositions. In 2021, he was commissioned to compose an opera based on Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel’s acclaimed play, The Trial of God, which premiered that November.
Congratulations, Andrew, on this well-deserved recognition. Your creativity, artistic excellence, and contributions to the world of music and storytelling exemplify the remarkable achievements of Christopher Newport University alumni.
