Robert Ames is a conductor, composer, curator and co-founder of the London Contemporary Orchestra.

Over the last 15 years, Ames has pioneered a genre-fluid approach to collaboration, blurring the lines between electronic production and the classical tradition, opening new horizons for instrumental music in the process.

With two solo albums to his name and extensive soundtrack experience from indie films to mainstream Oscar-winners, Ames’ work is as comfortable at the BBC Proms as it is at Sydney Opera House, or on a Boiler Room broadcast.

Helping shape a now-established ambient and neo-classical landscape unshackled from the constraints previously applied to orchestral music, Ames’ experience marks him as one of the most exciting and influential artists working in the world today.
