Profiles
John Holland, BA (Hons) Hum (Open)
Living in London, United Kingdom
I was born in Hastings in 1977, but was raised in Watford. I moved to south London a few years ago with my life partner, Chris, and we're now happily settled down in Forest Hill, in our own little place just around the corner from the world-famous Horniman Museum.
I conduct the Lambeth Wind Orchestra and can also be found guest-playing most wind and brass instruments, including alto/bass clarinet, tenor/baritone sax and trombone/euphonium, even dabbling in percussion every so often.
My chamber orchestra piece 'Green Sky' won the Making Music Award at the British Composer Awards 2008. The worlkd premiere of my 'Requiem' took place in April 2009 and the Oboe Concerto 'The Something In-Between' given its premiere by Isobel Williams in January 2010.
