Jonathan Willcocks

Worcester-born Jonathan Willcocks trained as a chorister at King’s College, Cambridge, then a degree in Music from Trinity College. His career has combined broad-ranging work as a composer, and with choral and orchestral conducting at engagements across the world, Europe and throughout the UK.  

Jonathan’s compositions encompass large-scale orchestral scores and chamber music in addition to many choral works, and his music is published principally by Oxford University Press and Lorenz (USA). Jonathan’s music is widely performed and recorded, including the BBC Proms. His choral repertoire has also been recorded by well-known choirs such as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and London Bach Choir. Much of his music has been written to commission for choirs, orchestras and ensembles, and has been recognised by nomination for the Academy of Composers and Songwriters’ prestigious British Composer Awards.
