Biography

Liz Lane’s music has been described as: “spell-binding…. touched the very core of one’s heart” [David Fanshawe – composer and explorer], “quite simply – brilliant!  Wonderfully evocative and memorable” [West Sussex County Gazette] and “easily appealing, yet musically reputable” [Musical Times].

Liz started writing music at an early age and received widespread media coverage as a child composer, including an ITV television documentary And I Write Music and a televised performance of her Sinfonietta for Strings by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.  Since then, her compositions and arrangements have been played throughout the UK and abroad by performers such as the tenor Andrew Kennedy, Carducci Quartet, Bournemouth Symphony Chorus, Black Dyke Band, London Childrens' Ballet and Chinook Winds (Seattle) at venues including the Bridgewater Hall Manchester, Cadogan Hall London, Colston Hall Bristol, Barcelona Cathedral and the Miami Convention Centre.  

She regularly works with the composer and explorer David Fanshawe; recent published collaborations include Pacific Song for double choir and the brass band and orchestral arrangement of The Lord’s Prayer from African Sanctus. Liz has also arranged music for cult Bristol band The Blue Aeroplanes’ albums Life Model and Friendloverplane2.

Liz is currently completing a PhD in Composition at Cardiff University with Anthony Powers.  Current and future projects include a piece for the harpsichord maker and performer Colin Booth, a commissioned song cycle for baritone and piano, further collaborations with David Fanshawe and a large scale oratorio for soloists, choir and orchestra.
