Lloyd Moore
Lloyd Moore (b.1966) was born in London and started composing at the age of 11 after encountering the music of Debussy and Stravinsky at school. Initially self-taught, he went on to study composition at Trinity College of Music where he was awarded a Fellowship Diploma as well as the Chappell Prize for Composition and the Ricordi Prize for Conducting, and at King's College London where he obtained his Masters degree with Distinction.
His earliest recognised work is Divine Radiance for large ensemble, originally composed whilst still a student but substantially rewritten some years later. This revised version was premiered by the London Sinfonietta at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall in 1999 to much critical acclaim. His subsequent output includes orchestral, solo, ensemble and chamber works which have been performed by numerous leading orchestras, ensembles and soloists as well as broadcast in the UK and elsewhere. His works have been heard at venues such as London's South Bank Centre, St. John's Smith Square, Kings Place, Royal Academy of Music, Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester University, Trinity Laban, Birrmingham Town Hall, St. Georges Bristol and Lviv Organ Hall, featured at the Cheltenham, Hampstead & Highgate, Huddersfield, Norfolk & Norwich and Presteigne Festivals and performed by such ensembles as the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, London Sinfonietta and Psappha among others. His music has drawn frequent praise for its harmonic richness and feel for sonority and has been described by various reviewers as 'bursting with things to say', 'wonderfully inventive', 'outstanding', 'gripping' and 'haunting'.
Lloyd’s musical interests and influences are wide and varied and this is reflected in his musical style which has its roots in 20th-century modernism but with a non-doctrinaire, often lyrical quality that occasionally embraces an expanded tonality. He lives and works in London.
