Hunter Coblentz is a Canadian composer based in the U.K. His work engages with acoustics, microtonality, and quiet, introspective sound worlds marked by restrained, layered sounds.

His music has been performed internationally by ensembles including The London Philharmonic Orchestra, L’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Fidelio Trio, and Ensemble TaG Neue Musik Winterthur, at series & festivals such as The Cheltenham Music Festival, Glasgow Experimental Music Series, and Festival ManiFeste (IRCAM).

Hunter served as Composer-in-Residence at Handel House for two years, during which time he was awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize, a SOCAN Young Canadian Composer Award, and the prizes for Best Free Composition and Best Orchestral Work at the 2015 Antonín Dvořák Composition Competition in Prague.
