Composers

Following a classical training at London’s Royal Academy of Music, Craig Armstrong returned to his native Glasgow where he joined a number of leading bands and was appointed Composer-in- Residence at the Tron Theatre. Since 1996, he has scored over twenty films, notably Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet in collaboration with director Baz Luhrmann. His distinctive style transfers successfully to the concert hall and he has received commissions from organizations such as the Scottish Ensemble, the Barbican, and Horsecross, the new Perth concert hall. His third album Piano Works was released in 2004.
