Francis Pott

Francis Pott studied at Cambridge with Robin Holloway and Hugh Wood whilst pursuing piano studies with Hamish Milne. Formerly Lecturer in Music at St Hilda's College, Oxford, he is now Head of both Composition and Research Development at London College of Music and Media. He has received many national compositional awards, and in 1997 won First Prize in the piano solo section of the Second Prokofiev International Composing Competition in Moscow. Recently Pott has attracted most attention for his organ music and sacred choral works. In both he seeks selectively to harness fifteenth and sixteenth century polyphonic techniques to a quietly distinctive harmonic idiom. 'Thrilling music . . . contemporary and original . . . impressive and profoundly affecting.' The Times Francis Pott's works published by Oxford More information about Francis Pott
