Jasper Dommett (b. 1997, UK) is a composer and performer whose music lives at the intersection of raw emotion, sonic experimentation, and queer identity. They studied at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and the Royal Academy of Music with Helen Grime and are currently completing a PhD at the Royal College of Music with Mark Bowden where they were awarded the Mendelssohn Scholarship. Further lessons with Hans Abrahamsen complete their studies.

Their work has been performed by major ensembles such as the London Sinfonietta, London Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and Riot Ensemble, and has been featured at prominent venues and festivals including the Southbank Centre, Buxton International Festival, and on BBC Radio 3.

Jasper’s practice is bold, curious, and politically aware – using symphonic or ensemble settings, and opera to explore themes of (sexual) identity, resistance, and queer history. Their music invites audiences into immersive, emotionally charged spaces that question what it means to be heard. In 2025, Jasper was selected for Ricordilab, an international programme by Ricordi Berlin supporting emerging composers.
