Since graduating from the Royal College of Music in 1972, Richard Harvey has been an important figure on the London music scene. His first forays into the professional world involved playing recorder and Renaissance woodwinds with his own group, Gryphon, and early music pioneers Musica Reservata. His later work with composer Maurice Jarre led him into film composing in the late 1970s and this has been his principal activity ever since. Richard' passion for instruments from all around the world, old and new, has led him to work on a fascinatingly diverse range of projects – from feature films to documentaries and from television dramas to live performances – conducting, playing, producing and writing. He has recorded for and collaborated with Sir Paul McCartney, Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, Kate Bush, Elvis Costello, John Williams, Stanley Myers and many others. Scoring countless TV dramas – from Jane Eyre and Game, Set and Match to Alan Bleasdale's G.B.H. – has been a highlight of his career. One recent TV success was the feature length Granada Television film Colditz, for which Richard's score gained an Ivor Novello nomination. Today, Richard is a prolific composer, an occasional guest conductor and a virtuoso performer on a vast collection of instruments.
