James Moriarty is a London-based composer of contemporary classical music, currently studying composition at the Royal Academy of Music with Philip Cashian, having been awarded the Charles W Black Fellowship and the Howard Hartog Scholarship. His work is generally concerned with a high degree of structural integrity and harmonic expressivity; due to interest in a wide range of musical styles and traditions, these overarching creative concerns manifest themselves in a varied output, comprising works of differing scales and modes of address. Alongside his work as a composer, James also pursues careers in musical journalism and education.
