Marco Galvani is an award-winning composer of choral, concert, and electronic music, based in London. His music has been described by Robert Hugill as ‘21st Century, yet timeless’, and has been commissioned by a variety of ensembles, choirs, and foundations, such as The Sixteen, Royal Philharmonic Society, Southern Cathedrals Festival, Classic FM, Borough New Music, and Creative Scotland.
He was the inaugural winner of the Schellhorn Prize for Composition, a finalist in the NCEM Young Composers competition in 2017, and one of seven young composers selected by the Royal Philharmonic Society and Classic FM to write a work in celebration of Classic FM’s 25th anniversary. This resulted in two commissions from The Sixteen, On Christmas Morn, and Stella Caeli, the latter of which involved mentorship from Sir James MacMillan.
His recent work explores the connection between music and technology, with his critically acclaimed album collaboration with SANSARA, Invisible Cities, creating a synthesis of choral and electronic music, as well as projects such as his most recent opera Helena and virtual reality collaboration Play the Stars, investigating the relationship between analog and digital through music.
