Peter Gregson (born 1987) is a cellist and composer. [1]

Contents

He was born in Edinburgh and was educated at the Edinburgh Academy and the Royal Academy of Music. [2]

Gregson composed the score for the 2015 film A Little Chaos , marking his first major film scoring job. [3] Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair named it his favourite score of the year, dubbing it "a string-heavy stunner", [4] though Dennis Harvey writing for Variety magazine described it as "clichéd, saccharine score". [5] Gregson was interviewed as part of BBC Radio Ulster's Classical Connections with John Toal programme in May 2015. [6]

He arranged the cello cover of Charli XCX's "360" for Bridgerton season four on Netflix. [7]
