My Short Musical Bio is Available Here

Hugh Gregory Waldock has a Classical Music performance background. As a chorister, he proved himself as a recording artist with 2 programmes for BBC World in 1995 with Eton Choral Courses (under Ralph Allwood), a CD for Hyperion Records Vital Spark of Heavenly Flame in 1998 with Peter Holman & on Te Deum Laudamus with Ipswich School (under William Dore) in 1992. He performed 400 times including at Kings College, Cambridge, Snape Maltings & the Royal Albert Hall over 12 yrs. At Ipswich School, he won 3 accolades including the Senior Singing Cup & Junior Piano in 1995. He also did some professional work as a countertenor in Germany. Hugh has connections with GSMD London where he completed a short course in Film Music Composition & has been invited to apply for a Masters in Production and Composition. This year, he won a Certificate of Special Mention in the London Classical Music Piano Competition for reaching a national open final in his 2nd study instrument. Hugh studies production at HOFA College in Karlsdorf near Mannheim. He won 20 euro voucher prizes at HOFA Song Contests 2021 & 2022. As a composer, he is unashamedly Neo-Tonal Classical because he believes in music people want to hear as Classical Music listeners. 20th Century Classical music is no longer rebellious to him and is no longer broadening 'the sound palette' as Edgard Varèse put it so it's time to revisit tonality with a 20th century influence and not be afraid to throw a can of paint over it sometimes!
