- About Me: Drew Hammond is a composer and teacher living in Glasgow, UK. After growing up a bit in Central Kentucky, he went on to North Carolina to study piano and geology at Guilford College. From 1996 to 2000 Drew was a performer, arranger and composer for various touring groups in North Carolina before moving to Boston, Massachusetts. In 2003, he relocated to Scotland to study composition at Glasgow University Professor Bill Sweeney. He has been awarded a Master's Degree and a PhD in composition, and he now teaches composition and academic studies at the University of Glasgow and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
In composing, Drew is concerned with tempering expressiveness through an array of highly refined compositional techniques in order to develop a wide array of challenging yet performable chamber music. His compositions often include nostalgic references to the natural environment of his native rural America.
