VIDEO PODCAST: Women Composers - Our special hour-long illustrated feature on women composers includes contributions from Diana Ambache, Gail Wein, Hilary Tann, Natalie Artemas-Polak and Victoria Bond.
American composer Kevin Raftery was born in St Louis, Missouri in 1951 and studied composition with Peter Racine Fricker at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
In 1989 he moved to London, UK where he studied with Justin Connolly and maintained a dual career as musician and project manager until 2004 when he retired from non-musical work.
Now a citizen of the UK and of Ireland, he sings in the New London Chamber Choir and plays bassoon in several ensembles. Composing, however, has always been his primary concern.
