    Biography

    Oliver is a Glasgow-based composer and educator and is currently Interim Head of Composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He has written a wide variety of works for many professional, amateur, youth and theatre organisations, which have been broadcast and performed around the world, and is interested in developing new environments for new music, collaborating with other artists and organisations to find ways to communicate to new audiences. He won a British Composer Award in 2018 for 'Microscopic Dances', a large-scale, inclusive work for digital orchestra created in collaboration with Drake Music Scotland and the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland, and has also been nominated for a Royal Philhamornic Society Award.
