Click the picture for Stuarts MYSPACE
Stuart Mitchell was born in Edinburgh on 21 December From an early age Stuart showed an aptitude for music, learning the piano at the age of 5 having been encouraged by his father, a professional pianist. At 13 he was performing in public, turning professional on leaving school at 16. From 1980 to 2000 Stuart played professionally all over Europe including lengthy periods in Spain and Belgium. He began composing music in the early 1980s and began Seven Wonders in 2000, completing the work in 2003. His musical interests are wide and varied embracing jazz, electronic and avant garde. Classical music has always been his first love, however, and his primary influences of Mozart, Chopin, Debussy and Satie have inspired much of his output, particularly Seven Wonders. Stuart is presently working on a symphony stimulated by Edinburghs history, architecture and cultural development. His completed works include a cello sonata, a symphonic suite entitled The Design of a Tear, an experimental piece based on the musical possibilities of DNA research and various chamber works. He is also in negotiations to perform one of his compositions at an open air concert as part of the official Edinburgh International Festival in 2007.
