Peter Wilson

Peter Wilson (he/him) is a composer for theatre, film, and concert hall.

Peter is an ‘Offie’-nominated and Olivier Award-winning composer. He has worked on productions for a number of London’s prominent venues, including the National Theatre, Donmar Warehouse, Soho Theatre, RADA, The Bunker, and VAULT Theatre. He has composed music for documentaries, short films, and installations: most recently scoring a series of short videos for the Microsoft Inspire conference (Las Vegas, 2019).

As a composer for concert hall, Peter has worked with the Royal Northern Sinfonia, Loré Lixenberg, Ligeti Quartet, Norrbotten NEO and Gildas Quartet. He is currently an ‘emerging composer’ supported by the Royal Philharmonic Society and, in 2020, will compose a piece for Music in the Round, based in Sheffield. Peter’s music has been recorded and released by NMC Recordings. He is an Associate Composer of the University of York Music Press.

In addition, Peter has worked professionally as a dancer and choreographer of contemporary ballet. He graduated from The Australian Ballet School in 2010, and subsequently performed in productions across Australia, the US, Canada, England, and Germany.

He was described recently as “having a willingness to engage in small, strange details” - a diagnosis Peter quite enjoyed.
