Sally Beamish

About the artist

Sally Beamish (born 26 August 1956, London) is a British composer of chamber, vocal, choral and orchestral music. Beamish studied the viola at the Royal Northern College of Music, where she received lessons from Anthony Gilbert and Lennox Berkeley. She later studied in Germany with the Italian violinist Bruno Giuranna. As a violist in the Raphael Ensemble, she recorded four discs of string sextets. However, it was as a composer that she made her mark, particularly after moving from London to Scotland.
