Tom Coult is a composer born in London in 1988. His work has been championed by many of the UK’s major orchestras and ensembles, resulting in a series of acclaimed large-scale pieces, including Spirit of the Staircase for the London Sinfonietta (nominated for a South Bank Sky Arts Award), St John’s Dance for the BBC Symphony Orchestra to open the First Night of the 2017 BBC Proms, and Pleasure Garden for the BBC Philharmonic, with whom he is currently Composer-in-Assocation. His 2022 opera Violet was described as ‘the best new British opera in years’ by The Telegraph and has already earned further new productions in Germany and France.
