Life, the latest album from composer Oliver Davis, is available May 16 for streaming and purchase. Inspired by his piece Life Cycle for violin and strings, each track plays on the theme of life with works for violin, piano, strings, harp and orchestra. Pianist Huw Watkins and violinists Kerenza Peacock and Benjamin Baker join the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Julian Kershaw.
Perennially popular among choreographers, Davis’ music lends itself beautifully to dance and film, as evidenced by two lush new videos that feature tracks from Life:

In addition to the album release and notable dance performances in the United States, 2025 has seen the World Premiere of a new choral work from Davis called At that hour for the Choral Scholars of University College Dublin.
