Aaron Holloway-Nahum (b. 1983) is a composer, conductor and sound artist working internationally at the intersection of contemporary concert music and immersive experiences. Through close collaboration with performers, all his work contributes to the creation of new music shaped by intimate portraiture, experimental narrative structures, ornate timbres and flashes of absurdist humour.

Aaron is the chief conductor and co-Artistic Director of Riot Ensemble, with whom he has conducted, curated and presented thousands of new works. He regularly guests with ensembles such as the Manchester Collective, Athelas Sinfonietta and gageego! and each year conducts dozens of composition workshops that range from cello octets to symphonic orchestra.

Aaron’s own music has been performed in nearly twenty countries, and he was one of two composers selected for the 2018/19 inaugural mentoring programme of the Peter Eötvös Foundation. His commissions include the BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Third Coast Percussion, HOCKET and Plural Ensemble.

As a recording engineer and producer, Aaron has collaborated with artists including the Arditti Quartet, Sandbox Percussion and Ensemble Intercontemporain. He is Head of Immersive at Southby Productions, supporting projects ranging from Holly Herndon to Chase & Status, and is on the composition faculty of the Royal Academy of Music in London.
