³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

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 ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ commission to write a short piece for chamber ensemble of ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ 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 ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ 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.
