Biography

edit

Early life

edit

Alex Woolf was born in 1995. He was raised in Cambridgeshire, UK and studied for five years at Snape Maltings as an Aldeburgh Young Musician, for two years at the junior department of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and for two years as a composer with the National Youth Orchestra under the tutelage of Anna Meredith and Larry Goves.

In 2012, Alex was named a BBC Young Composer of the Year [1]. His Fanfare opened the 2012 International Olympic Committee session, performed at Covent Garden by Sir Antonio Pappano and the ROH Orchestra to accompany the entrance of HRH The Princess Royal. Also in 2012, Alex was commissioned to write Three Tempestuous Tunes for acclaimed tenor Nicky Spence’s debut album ‘As You Like It’, recorded with pianist Malcolm Martineau in 2013 [2]. These songs received their US premiere in Menlo Park, California in March 2015, and were also performed in Kansas in November 2016. In this same year, Alex became Principal Composer of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain [3], and won the National Centre for Early Music composition award [4].

Education

edit

Alex read music at St John’s College, Cambridge, from which he graduated in 2016 with triple First Class Honours [5]. He now studies with David Sawer at the Royal Academy of Music. Alex is a current member of the London Symphony Orchestra's Panufnik Composers Scheme [6], writing music for the LSO to be premiered in 2018.

Whilst a student at Cambridge, Alex composed works for the Choir of St John's College, Cambridge, Clare Hammond, the Orpheus and Bacchus Music Festival, Bordeaux, and the King’s Lynn Festival. December 2016 saw the Asian premiere at Hong Kong City Hall of Alex's Nunc Dimittis from his St. John’s Service, composed for St. John’s Voices, the mixed-voice choir of St. John’s College, and their director, Graham Walker.

In 2013, Alex contributed twice to the centenary year of Benjamin Britten: Alex’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings was performed in Snape Maltings Concert Hall as part of Aldeburgh Music’s centenary weekend [7], and the London Youth Choir performed his Begone, Dull Care as part of their own centenary celebrations. In the same year, Alex composed, performed and released an album of piano music, Red Handed [8], paid for entirely through online crowdfunding.

In 2014, Alex received premieres from ensembles including the Jubilee String Quartet, Cambridge Chorale, all the horn students at the Royal Academy of Music, and members of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. In addition, he twice curated sold-out concerts of his own music and that of other young composers in Cambridge, as part of the Cambridge Music Festival.

In 2015, Alex marked the bicentenary of Anthony Trollope with a new commission for the Trollope Society’s commemorative ceremony in Westminster Abbey, London [9].

In 2016, on the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, Alex's Three Tempestuous Tunes were broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 from Stratford-upon-Avon [10], performed by Mark Stone and Richard Sisson.

A tag has been placed on Draft:St John's Voices requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.joh.cam.ac.uk/st-john%E2%80%99s-voices. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
