Jon Ehrlich
In 2025 he received an International Film Music Critics Association nomination alongside Rachel Portman recognizing their critically acclaimed score for Hulu’s Holocaust drama limited series, We Were the Lucky Ones, from director Tommy Kail and writer Erica Lipez, starring Logan Lerman and Joey King. The score has been singled out in reviews such as IndieWire’s The Best TV Scores of 2024: “The music here is wise enough not to try to be more intense than the events that the Kurc family goes through over the course of the Hulu limited series. Instead, the score is often a quiet, insistent source of strength and emotional catharsis that the characters cannot allow themselves to show but that we get to feel. Portman and Ehrlich’s work transitions from being as wistful and painful as memories to being as relentless as whatever inner fortitude helps the characters survive — and back again. The result is a musical experience that matches the poignancy of the series.”
