Life
Vladislav Shoot studied composition at the Gnesin Institute of Music in Moscow, graduating in 1967. From 1967-82, he worked as the music editor of Sovetsky Kompositor publishers. In 1982, he turned to freelance composing, earning his living by writing film scores. In the early 1990s, he was invited to come to Dartington Hall in the UK as a composer-in-residence, where he later chose to make his home. Shoot is one of the co-founders of the Association for Contemporary Music.
His music has been performed at numerous festivals throughout Europe, as well as in South Korea and the USA. The music written in the UK has been performed by leading British ensembles and orchestras, including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, and Sinfonia 21.
