Peter Byrom-Smith

 

Peter has found inspiration for his music in the life and work of a varied array of composers, artists and poets. Writing for and performing with many musicians from across a wide spectrum of genres, was his composing ‘apprenticeship.’ His musical journey has taken him on many trips across Europe and the USA, where his music has been performed, recorded and broadcast.  Peter’s work is performed regularly and he receives frequent commissions for new music. 

His music crosses boundaries: a melange of sounds, bringing together elgarian melody, jazz harmonies and rock rhythms.

In the growing portfolio of work which includes pieces written for full orchestra, chamber musicians and solo performers, he also regularly works with pop/rock musicians both in the studio and live performances.
