Dominic stokes is a violist, composer, and creative who has established himself as one of London’s leading young contemporary artists. His passion and musical facility for all things contemporary has led him to work with groups at the forefront of the new-music scene, such as the Riot Ensemble, “The supergroup of top soloists playing new music”, the Manchester Camerata, O/Modernt, including several BBC radio 3 broadcasts

His skill in chamber music has led him to tour parts of Europe, Asia and North America, and facilitated him to partake in many of Europe’s top festivals, such as the Dartington summer festival and the Festival Resonances academy. These include chamber masterclasses from the  inspiring Alfred Brendel, Hugo Ticciati and Andrew Watkinson, and solo masterclasses from Max Baillie, Jane Atkins and Simon Rowland-Jones

He has been lucky enough to work with some incredible composers, and has premiered chamber and solo works in some of London’s prestigious venues - such as King’s place and the Barbican centre - with music by the likes of Naomi Pinnock, Alec Hall, and Edmund Finnis

The ultimate goal, always, is to open up music to a wider audience, make it more accessible and change the way society views classical music. Along with Rothko collective, he has commissioned over 10 new works, was awarded first prize in nonclassical’s competition for emerging talent, given highly acclaimed performances and released a studio and a live album.

He is eternally grateful for the time and support the members of Rothko give him; it would not be possible without you.
