LOIS WYATT
ABOUT
Lois is a composer based in Bath who specialises in writing for chamber ensembles. Her work explores the use of pitch, syncopated rhythms and texture and also varying concepts behind each piece.
She is currently studying for a Masters in composition at Bath Spa University. Lois has been commissioned to write for a number of chamber groups including Plus Minus, Scapegoat, Trio Atem and the specialist new music group of Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Kokoro. Her work has been performed in various venues across Bath and Bristol including Bath Abbey, The Holburne Museum, The Royal West of England Academy, Dartington Hall, St George’s Concert Hall and Bristol Cathedral. Her work has also been broadcast on BBC Radio.
Lois has also been involved in a wide range of collaborations from working with members from the Pump Room Trio and Bath Philharmonia Orchestra to writing music for the Bath based charity The Trauma Recovery Centre and also working with film and dance.
