The American composer Nico Muhly (b 1981) has worked with Björk, Grizzly Bear, Antony and the Johnsons, Philip Glass and John Rutter among others. In June his first opera, Two Boys, will be premiered at ENO. He also has a passion for choral music and electronic fusions. This makes his music stylishly and wilfully obdurate when it comes to classification. Seeing is Believing, which features the Aurora Orchestra and is graced by the exquisite solo playing of Thomas Gould on electric six-string violin, gives a taste of Muhly in what might be called his "English music mode", with his own delicate arrangements of Byrd and Gibbons alongside beguiling original compositions. Book for ENO now.
