Stuart MacRae

Scottish classical composer was born in Inverness, Scotland in 1976. After reading music at Durham University with Philip Cashian, Sohrab Uduman and Michael Zev Gordon, he went on to study composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama with Simon Bainbridge and Robert Saxton. Often inspired by aspects of nature and humans' relationship to it, MacRae's style draws on various strands of European modernism, including the music of Igor Stravinsky, Elliott Carter, Iannis Xenakis, Harrison Birtwistle and Peter Maxwell Davies.
