Des Oliver

Bristol event series to honour history of Windrush generation - BBC News

We are delighted that our composer Des Oliver is a major part of this wonderful project. Scenes from his Opera Windrush have been performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and Pegasus Opera Company at the Tung Auditorium. Now the story moves to Bristol Beacon. Read about it below in a BBC piece. For me Des’s writing combines deep intelligence with humour, a balanced and fair outlook on the world and fine compositional technique.
