Aaron Holloway-Nahum
CEO / Co-Artistic Director / Conductor

American composer Dr. Aaron Holloway-Nahum (b. 1983) has firmly established himself as a pillar of the UK’s contemporary music scene. While his compositional career is formidable on its own - he was one of two composers on the 2018/19 Peter Eötvös Foundation mentoring programme and his commissions include the London Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, and Third Coast Percussion - his most meaningful work combines his compositional knowledge with a variety of additional skills, through which he leads an award-winning career as a recording engineer, conductor, and arts entrepreneur. Narrowing the gap of gender, racial, and socioeconomic inequality within new music is of paramount importance to Holloway-Nahum; and as a curator and conductor he has showcased contemporary work from a variety of composers, including Anna Thorvaldsdóttir, Ann Cleare, Kit Downes, Daniel Kidane, Liza Lim, Tonia Ko and Riot’s commission from Georg Friedrich Haas performed in total darkness, for which Aaron learned to (re)tune a piano. He is now also the Head of Soundscape at Southby Productions. He is based in London with his wife and sons.
