Andrew Wilson was born in 1960 and after holding a Junior Exhibution at Trinity College of Music, London he went on to study at London University where Brian Dennis and Martin Neary were among his teachers: for composition and organ respectively. Since graduating he has held a number of important teaching and organist posts and is currently Director of Music at Kelly College and conductor of the Kelly Choral Society.
Andrew Wilson's compositions have enjoyed considerable success wherever they have been played. They span all forms of chamber, orchestral and vocal music. He particularly enjoys fulfilling commissions for particular artists: such as "Trio Camerata" for whom his "Divertimento" was written and the Ten Tors Orchestra who commissioned "Drake's Drum" for Chorus, soprano and Orchestra.
Notable musicians who have included works by Andrew Wilson in their repertoires include Ian Mitchell (the Clarinet Sonata) and Rachael Ager (the Oboe Sonata).
Andrew is always pleased to discuss ideas for new works with potential commissioners and supply samples of his work.
