Judith Weir "is one of Britain's most wide-ranging and prolific composers. She studied composition with John Tavener while at school in London, and at Cambridge University with Robin Holloway. For six years she taught composition at Glasgow's University and RSAMD and she has also held visiting professorships at Oxford University and Princeton University.
Her interest in theatre, narrative and folklore has resulted in three full length operas (A Night at the Chinese Opera, The Vanishing Bridegroom and Blond Eckbert - all televised, and widely performed in the UK, Germany and the USA); and collaborations with the Royal National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Peter Hall Company, working with playwrights including Caryl Churchill and Peter Shaffer. Together with storyteller Vayu Naidu, Judith has created a blend of storytelling and music entitled Future Perfect which has toured England and India."
