Programme - All works by Molly Frances Arnuk
Brooklyn-born composer Molly Frances Arnuk spent her early years as a violist before discovering her love of composing at the age of 14. She continued on to study privately with composers Ionel Petroi and Dan Bar-Hava, during which time she made her international debut. Elegy for Violin and Viola was premiered in Bosnia and Herzegovina with Music and More Summerfest, and Flight to Trebinje for solo violin and string orchestra was performed by KLK Strings in Lviv, Ukraine. Currently, Molly Frances is a Big Give Scholar at the Royal College of Music, pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree in Composition under the instruction of Haris Kittos. Recent achievements include the choreography of Unspinning by English National Ballet School trainees and its staging in the Wallace Collection, and the commission of basset horn concerto Mermaids in the Basement by the RCM Wind Ensemble.
