Tom Coult

After Violet, Tom has a spell as composer in residence at Musikdorf Ernen, a festival in the Alpine
town of Ernen, Switzerland, where they will be playing some of his chamber music and he is writing
them a new horn trio, Two Nocturnes and a Maze to be premiered by Alec Frank-
Gemmill (horn), Daniel Bard (violin) & Alasdair Beatson (piano). Violet will then be receiving a second
production, at Theater Ulm in Germany on 28 October 2022 (conducted by Hendrik Haas, and
directed by Rahel Thiel). He is also in the middle of being composer in residence with the BBC
Philharmonic. The orchestra premiered his Violin Concerto last year (and the work will be performed
in London in October by the London Philharmonic Orchestra), and he is writing a second piece for the
BBC Philharmonic.
