Composition

Clifford’s music has been performed in the United States and the United Kingdom. His compositions demonstrate a range of styles for concert and recital music, from orchestral to chamber music, choral ensembles and experimental works. 

As an active member of the amateur music scene in South Wales, Clifford is currently engaged in creating works for these communities. 

His recent performances include the work Frustration! For the open-scores focused Edges Ensemble at the University of Huddersfield, as well as the concert overture Carnival with the University of Bath Concert Band. His Brass Quintet was featured at a Midwest Composer’s Symposium. 

He holds degrees in composition from Bath Spa University and the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.
