Stephen Crowe is an English composer of operas and experimental music. He was born in Bolton, but grew up in Nottingham. Crowe studied Fine Art at John Moores University, Liverpool, and Composition at Goldsmiths College, University of London. His music uses standard scores, graphic notation, indeterminacy and controlled improvisation. His work has been performed internationally in Berlin, Bern, Budapest, Dublin, Geneva, New York, Novi Sad, Zofingen and Zurich. Notable London performances have been at Camden Arts Centre, Courtauld Gallery, Kings Place, The National Portrait Gallery, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Riverside Studios, Tate Britain and The Vortex. His stage work The Francis Bacon Opera won the Hilton Edwards Award in May 2013 after performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, James Joyce Centre and The Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin. Since his work is often performed in galleries as well as concert halls, Crowe's output has been noted by critics in both art and classical music fields, including Exeunt Magazine, This is Tomorrow, What's On Stage and Opera Magazine. The Independent newspaper described his work as "The future of new opera".〔Picard, Anna: Sunday 12 August http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/classical/reviews/lheure-espagnole-lenfant-et-les-sortilges-glyndebourne-east-sussextte--tte-opera-festival-riverside-studios-londonthe-francis-bacon-opera-camden-arts-centre-london-8034577.html〕 He is a guitarist, and performs free improvisation on a regular basis in Berlin.
