Toby Hession: After Death
Toby is an 18-year-old composer and pianist from Peterborough. He has had works performed at venues such as Peterborough Cathedral and the Royal Northern College of Music and in 2013 he was commissioned to compose a piece for the Commonwealth Observance Day in Westminster Abbey, which he conducted in front of an assembly of world leaders.
In 2015, Toby was selected from hundreds of entrants as one of the winners in the Senior category of the Proms Inspire Young Composers’ Competition.
