Alun Cook studied Clarinet and Saxophone at the Royal Academy of Music, and having played in everything from Punk to Puccini, moved on to a career in teaching and conducting, specializing in the world of wind bands, and now concentrates on composing. His musical tastes have always been eclectic ranging through Classical, Jazz, Rock and Contemporary - from Bach and Blood Sweat and Tears to Berg and the Brecker Bros. - and his music reflects this broad taste.

The popularity of his scores among performers comes from his skill in scoring with a real understanding of the capabilities of the instruments for which he writes. His music is widely performed with music sold to over 60 countries.
