Gareth Williams is an Irish composer and singer-songwriter who, for the last 2O years, has lived in Scotland making music that defies categorization - ranging from music theatre, pop and chamber music to full orchestral music and opera. He writes for his own voice, and also for the voices of others who can range from international opera singers and west end performers to people struggling with conditions like Cystic Fibrosis and Long Covid. His cross-genre/interdisciplinary work has been commissioned and performed by companies such as Scottish Opera, Tapestry Opera, NOISE Opera, National Theatre of Scotland, Ulster Orchestra, Young People’s Theatre, Toronto, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and Chamber Music Scotland, Dundee Rep Theatre, Hebrides Ensemble, Bridge Theatre, Red Note Ensemble, and the Maxwell Quartet. His latest release, Songs from the Last Page takes the last pages of novels and stories by Scottish writers (Ali Smith, Alasdair Gray, Jackie Kay, Robert Louis Stevenson, James Robertson, Calum MacKinnon. Eli Percy, Ross Sayers, J M Barrie, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Andrew Greig) and creates a collection of 'literary chamber pop' from those beautiful final lines.
