Adrian Sutton
Adrian Sutton’s scores cross orchestral,
chamber and electronic genres, and have
featured in a number of successful National
Theatre productions: War Horse, Coram Boy,
Angels in America, and the multiple Olivier- and
Tony award-winning The Curious Incident of the
Dog in the Night-Time, for which he received a
joint Olivier Award in 2013. His War Horse Suite,
a symphonic orchestral work derived from the
score for the show, was premiered by the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra in June 2010 and, along
with a new commission Some See Us from the
BBC Proms, featured as the centrepiece of a
‘War Horse Prom’ in the 2014 Proms season. His
score for War Horse: The Story in Concert had
its premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in 2016.
Other orchestral works include A Fist Full of Fives
(BBC Symphony Orchestra), and a Sinfonietta.
Adrian’s chamber music scores have frequently
involved collaboration with the violinist Fenella
Humphreys, including the Arpeggiare Variations
for her ‘Bach2TheFuture’ project, Sap and Sinews
for her ‘Four Seasons Recomposed’ series, and a
recording of his Spring Masque for violin/viola
duo.
