Audrey Riley – 'cellist, composer, arranger and conductor – has crossed over from traditional pop to experimental contemporary music across a three–decade career. She spent 10 years touring with New York's Merce Cunningham Dance Company and arranged music in the studio for some of the world's biggest artists (including Foo Fighters, Coldplay, and The Smiths). She regularly tours with Gavin Bryars, the English composer, performs new work by contemporary composers, and crafts her own projects.
