Jeremy is a composer, writer, and pianist. Intensely individual, his music reflects on the complexities, beauties and paradoxes of nature; engages with the imaginative daring of Woolf, Bonnefoy, Keats, Dickinson, Dante; and explores rich and fruitful frictions between European contemporary composition and musical traditions such as Raga and Gugak. His scores have been played by the BBC Philharmonic, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Norrbotten Kammerorkest, the Fitzwilliam, Kreutzer, Ligeti, and Alinea Quartets, the Schubert Ensemble, Endymion, Aronowitz Ensemble, Hermes Experiment. His video-opera A Sudden Cartography of Song won the George Butterworth Prize for best new work of the season across the UK. Thurlow also writes on Dutilleux, Messiaen and other French composers.
