Richard Sisson

Alongside a growing catalogue of concert works he has composed much music for the theatre. He is currently musical supervisor on Alan Bennett's The History Boys‚ and has just finished work on the film version which will be released later this year.

As a result of his association with the Choir of the Year competition over the last ten years he has been commissioned by two of the overall winners to write new choral works. BirdSongs‚ for The Berkshire Youth Choir in 1996 and Turtles Cannot Sing and Yet They Love‚ for Choros Amici in 2000.

He is the piano playing half of the cabaret double act Kit and The Widow. This year they will be joining forces once again with American comedienne Joan Rivers for a tour of Australia and Canada. They recently finished presenting a third series of their Saturday evening Radio 3 programme Kit & The Widow - Cocktails.
