Luke Whitlock, (b. 1978, Exeter) started composing in his early teenage years. After leaving formal education, Luke was employed by the RCM, London and also taught at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. He is now a BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4 producer. His music is definitively neo-Romantic, lyrical and traditional in tonality and harmony and so of appeal to a wide audience. Neither is his writing simplistic, but speaks simply with balanced phrasing and an often-deep sense of fun. On Flowing Waters, pianist Duncan Honeybourne performs solo piano works, alongside two pieces of chamber music.
