Nathaniel Coxon: Meditation for Six Musicians
Nathaniel Coxon is 19 and from Staffordshire. He studies music at King’s College London and has been composing for nearly five years. In 2014 he was selected as a Senior winner of the Proms Inspire Young Composers’ Competition. As part of his prize, Nathaniel received a Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú commission to write a short piece for chamber ensemble of Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Symphony Orchestra musicians, taking ideas of memory, nature and freedom as a starting point.
Developed over a series of workshops with composer Martin Suckling, conductor Rumon Gamba and Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Symphony Orchestra musicians, the final piece, Meditation for Six Musicians, received its world-premiere at a Proms Extra event at the Royal College of Music on 8 August 2015.
