Mark Gotham
In 2008, Mark Gotham graduated from the University of Oxford with the Gibbs Prize for the highest-ranking first class degree awarded in music. Since then, he has gained a masters degree in composition from the RNCM (with the support of a full scholarship from the Arts and Humanities Research Council) and pursued a richly varied freelance career as a composer, conductor, teacher, singer, and multi-instrumentalist.
Performances of his compositions and arrangements have been given across the UK - including at Blenheim Palace and the Aldeburgh Festival - and at major festivals abroad. He is currently fulfilling various commissions for large-scale orchestral, choral and operatic works. Mark also works regularly with others' new music, giving première performances and writing piano reductions for new works commissioned by The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
New music is also a major concern of Mark's many academic projects. He is currently the McCann Research Fellow at the Royal Academy of Music, where he specialises in how programming decisions and accompanying written notes are used to introduce unfamiliar repertoire.
