Described as ‘at once intimate and visionary’, Freya Waley-Cohen has been commissioned by ensembles including Los Angeles Philharmonic, BBC Proms, Wigmore Hall, Philharmonia Orchestra, and Britten Sinfonia.

2025/26 orchestral premieres include a Violin Concerto for Tamsin Waley-Cohen commissioned by BBC NOW, Aldeburgh Festival and Philharmonie Luxembourg, and a new work for Lucie Horsch and Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century. Spell Book, Waley-Cohen’s debut album, was released in 2024 on NMC Recordings and described by BBC Music Magazine as “sophisticated, contemporary and feminist- even quite confronting”. Waley-Cohen has previously held roles including Composer-in-Residence with London Chamber Orchestra (2021/22) and Associate Composer at Wigmore Hall (2019/20). She currently lives in London.
