Biography

Gregory has conducted regularly at Trinity Laban including performances of Nino Rota's Il cappello di paglia di Firenze , and UK stage premieres of Berthold Goldschmidt’s Beatrice Cenci , Virgil Thomson's Four Saints in Three Acts and Vanessa by Samuel Barber, and is a professor of conducting. He is Music Director of Jupiter Orchestra, Jupiter Singers, Singcircle and COMA London Ensemble, and has conducted the London Philharmonic, St Petersburg Symphony and Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestras, the national Symphony Orchestras of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and orchestras throughout Eastern and Western Europe and the Far East.

Qualifications/ Educational Background

Before university he spent 5 months in Vienna studying 12 note technique with a former pupil of Schoenberg.  Although he has not used this system in his own compositions this was a strong influence in his creative development. He studied violin, piano and singing as a young child and was a pupil of Hans Jelinek (Vienna Academy) and Egon Wellesz (Oxford University), both former students of Arnold Schoenberg, and of his father, the late Bernard Rose.
