Peter Thorne b. 1955
I have been composing music since the age of about 12. I read music at Oxford and the UEA, where I took a master’s degree. Over the years I have written in many different styles and genres but most recently I have been writing for wind instruments and piano. My music often features influences from various kinds of jazz and pop and is often colourful and rhythmic.
My music for wind ensemble is published by http://www.soundthetrumpets.com
And music for wind and piano by www.warwickmusic.com
I have recently written a sonata for piano which will be premiered in Frinton on Sea in November.by the pianist Peter Seivewright and there will be a concert including some of my music in Colchester in September. Details of these concerts will appear in due course on my website peterthornemusic.co.uk
Some recent pieces for flute and piano can be heard here, played by the young American flautist Emma Resmini. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqYZAPTh2eg&feature=gp-n-y&google_comment_id=z13ys1wrjlvrx3kmp23mf31yakiesdx4d04

I am hoping to arrange a performance of my piano concerto in the near future with Peter Seivewright as soloist.
