John Hardy is a British composer for live performance and film. His music has been described by listeners as ‘heart-warming’, ‘incredibly moving’ and ‘brilliant’, and by critics as ‘gripping and intensely theatrical’ (Opera Now), ‘engrossing…unique’ (Guardian) ‘epic’ (Daily Telegraph) and ‘achingly beautiful’ (Composers of Wales).
