Edmund Finnis was born in Oxford in 1984. He has enjoyed close associations with both the London Sinfonietta—who have performed six of his works, including three that they commissioned (Veneer, Unfolds and Seeing is Flux)—and the London Contemporary Orchestra, with whom he is currently Composer-in-Association. Recent works include a string orchestra piece, Between Rain (LCO), a 30-minute electronic work called Point Blank Light, and a piece for cello with reverb, Across White Air, written for Oliver Coates. Forthcoming projects include new pieces for BCMG, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and a violin concerto for Benjamin Beilman and the LCO.
