Andrew Batt-Rawden grew up in Belrose, NSW. He took up the oboe from an early age but discovered affection for composition early on. He graduated in 2006 with a Bachelor of Music (Hons) from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music where he studied with (amongst others) Nigel Butterley, Anne Boyd, Michael Smetanin and Damien Ricketson. In 2004 Andrew was the recipient of the John Antill Scholarship.

Andrew’s compositional highlights include a solo piano commission for a London based ensemble (which incidentally served as inspiration for chronology), an electro-acoustic string quartet premiered in Cannes, and a piece for The Song Company as part of their ModArt07 program (hear it here or this link for more info and score excerpt), a performance at the Why Note Festival in Dijon, a piece for Christian Bonnelykke and his string quartet, and a commission for the inaugural opening of Ryde Argyle Arts. In 2008 he collaborated with Dan Walker for Stations of Creation, and had Les Mots premiered by Roland Peelman and Melbourne Soprano Jessica Aszodi . Also that year chronology premiered his string quintet Quintessence which Andrew considers his most successful work yet. Andrew has established a presence both locally and nationally as not only a talented artist but also a business entrepreneur. Andrew has worked previously as Project and Marketing Manager for The Song Company, Sales Manager for BT Publishing, and is now simply composing his own music and managing chronology arts whilst working as an arts consultant.
