Scott Wilson

Scott completed secondary school education in his homeland Australia before moving to London to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Graduating with First Class Honours, he studied percussion with Richard Benjafield, David Corkhill, and Michael Skinner, and conducting with Sian Edwards. He is also a graduate of Royal Holloway, University of London, where he received a Masters in Advanced Musical Studies. Whilst he is currently active as a London-based freelance musician, Scott continues to pursue his study of piano with Norman Beedie, his teacher of four years, and singing with Diana Stuart. Scott’s former teachers—those responsible for inspiring him to pursue a career in music—include John Arcaro, Michael Barker, Barry Fletcher, and Steve Falk.
 
Scott’s recent performances include Sofia Gubaidulina’s Galgenlieder à 3 in the presence of the composer, several performances of the solo percussion work Zyklus by Karlheinz Stockhausen and, as conductor, performances of Igor Stravinsky’s Concerto in E flat ‘Dumbarton Oaks’ and Histoire du Soldat (The Soldier’s Tale). He is currently timpanist with the Britten-Pears Orchestra and Britten-Pears Baroque Orchestra, and is a member of the Cheltenham Festival Academy and Orchestra Europa. In the coming months he will conduct programmes including works by Mozart, Ravel, and Schoenberg.
