Alice Beckwith (b.1989) is a British composer of orchestral, chamber, and vocal music. She has been commissioned by St Endellion Easter Festival, &Piano Music Festival, Endelienta Baroque, and Choir & Organ Magazine amongst others. A versatile composer of concert music, Alice's sound is lyrical and contemporary - her melodic sound firmly rooted in the British Isles - with an emphasis above all upon story-telling.

From Halifax, West Yorkshire, Alice studied at the Junior RNCM before reading Music at Lincoln College, Oxford University; subsequently pursuing further postgraduate studies in Composition.
“Alice was a joy to work with. Keen to collaborate, patient and passionate... it is clear she understands the wider significance to the role a composer can play in our industry today.”
