Fraz Ireland
composer
![]()
Fraz Ireland is a composer and percussionist whose work often explores a provocative and playful relationship with the audience, engaging with storytelling, and sometimes incorporating extra-musical elements including text, video, and images. Fraz studied composition on the ‘joint course’ at the University of Manchester and the Royal Northern College of Music.
Some recent projects have included an interactive soundscape as the composer-in-residence for a conference, a brass fanfare imitating real-world sounds that was performed in St Paul’s Cathedral, a choose-your-own-adventure style piano piece as part of Psappha’s composing for... scheme, and a piece for Gloucestershire Youth Orchestra telling the 900 year history of Tewkesbury Abbey.
