Short Biography
Sam Meredith is a composer and instrumentalist from Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Now based in London, he studies composition with Paul Whitmarsh at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where he is generously supported by a scholarship from the Guildhall School Trust. His harmonically rich work is often inspired by literature and poetry. In 2022, Sam was awarded joint First Prize in the AESS English Song Competition where his setting of Emily Dickinson’s Wild Nights was performed in the London Song Festival. Sam’s music has also been featured by the BBC, in John Harle’s Bauhaus Festivals, and at the National Centre for Early Music. Recent projects include writing a piece for the Ligeti Quartet called Modesties after Philip Larkin’s poem. In April 2024, Sam produced his new opera - An Image of Stars in collabration with the librettist, Olivia Bell. He coordinated a team of 25 people who, together, made this production happen in Milton Court Theatre (Barbican). The project was inspired by E. M. Forster’s short story, The Machine Stops.
