David Lloyd-Mostyn enjoys a varied musical life as a Composer, Arranger, Teacher and Conductor.

David studied for a BA(Hons) in Music and an MMus Composition at the University of Leeds. Whilst at Leeds, he was twice winner of the University’s Composition Competition. He has also been the recipient of other national prizes; the Schouller Organ Composition Prize and the Wallace Ensemble Prize. He has since enjoyed a number of commissions from a variety of bodies, from small chamber ensembles through to large-scale choruses and symphony orchestras. These have led to performances across Europe and America.

David has also written much music for TV and Theatre. Some highlights of 2012 include Primal Fire for massed children’s choir, to celebrate the relay of the Olympic Torch through Runcorn, and The Fate of Chattox, written for Clarinet and Piano Aquilon to mark the 400-year anniversary of the Pendle Witch trials. The Fate of Chattox will feature in a forth-coming BBC Radio 4 documentary about the Pendle Witches.

David is currently Head of Music at Cronton Sixth Form College in Widnes, where he has been instrumental in the college being designated as a Centre of Excellence for Performing Arts, and is much in demand as a music consultant in other schools and colleges. As a conductor, David holds positions with Altrincham Choral Society and the Oberon Festival Orchestra.
