Edmund Hunt

9th September 2021

Edmund Hunt is a British composer. His work has been performed by ensembles including Psappha, The Royal Northern Sinfonia, CHROMA, BCMG, ICARUS Vocal Ensemble, The Curious Chamber Players and CoMA (Contemporary Music for All). In January 2019, his choral work ‘Vita Hominum’ (composed for the Adopt A Composer scheme and performed by The Singers) was given a 25- minute feature on BBC Radio 3. In 2014, he was selected for the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s Leverhulme Young Composers’ programme. His composition ‘Argatnél’ was performed by the LPO in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, and was reviewed in the Telegraph as ‘the most delicately beautiful piece of the evening’.

Edmund has an MA from the University of Cambridge and an MMus from Newcastle University. In 2018 he was awarded a PhD in composition from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, where he studied with Edwin Roxburgh, Joe Cutler, and Simon Hall. In 2018 he became a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Arts, Design and Media at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Birmingham City University. As a practice-based researcher at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire’s Integra Lab, Edmund’s work focuses on composition, language, text and electronics.

Much of Edmund’s music is inspired by the early medieval literature of northern Europe, and his PhD explored this area through the creation of vocal, instrumental and electronic works. Although he often uses early texts, his approach is innovative and contemporary.

Current projects include a new work for string quartet, dance and live electronics, for Sound and Music’s New Voices scheme, and a new work for dancers and ensemble as part of the Cohan Collective.
