ABOUT

Eleanor is a British composer from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. In 2025, she completed her PhD in Composition, studying with Prof Phillip Cooke and Dr John De Simone at the University of Aberdeen. Her research focuses on the creative process of composition and explores the connection between words and music.

 

Her music is influenced by Renaissance textures and 20th Century harmonies. Much of her musical output is sacred and draws on her time as a singer at St Edmundsbury Cathedral. She held a Teaching Fellowship in Music at the University of Aberdeen from 2023-2025 and currently teaches music with the Wee Music School and St Margaret's School for Girls. In 2016, Eleanor co-founded the Suffolk Music Teachers team. The teachers work with children and adults in schools and privately and organise concerts in aid of local charities each year.
