THE BRISTOL BORN COMPOSER IS WRITING MUSIC FOR KING CHARLES CORONATION
Bristol-based composer Sarah Class has been commissioned to write music for the upcoming coronation of King Charles. Class, an Emmy and Brit Award-nominated artist, is most renowned for her work on Sir David Attenborough's nature programs and National Geographic documentaries. She was personally invited by His Royal Highness to compose music for the historic event.
She spoke of her pride at attending the coronation and that in Charles the country has a monarch who is just as passionate about the environment as she is. “I feel very honored and privileged and excited to be a part of it,” she said.

“I think for me it’s not just a contribution, I’m just so happy to be giving my support through my music and that’s the ultimate for me. I love that we have someone in this position who has these values for the planet and who cares about the environment and our biodiversity.
“It’s something that’s very important to me and it’s vital right now that all of these issues are explored and to have someone in this position is so special and valuable,” she added.
The artistic virtuoso Sarah Class was recently graced with the honor of reflecting her creative genius on behalf of King Charles III and his coronation. Initially, she gained recognition from the then-Prince of Wales for her accomplishments in music and environmental advocacy.
As a result, he subsequently requested that she compose a work for COP26’s Climate Summit. Her piece, titled “Rhythm Of The Earth – Terra Carta Theme,” did not fail to impress.
Born and raised in Bristol, Sarah is highly regarded for creating lush soundscapes accompanied by deeply emotional lyrical content. She grew up on the Isle of Wight where her interests in nature and music took root and eventually converged into an exciting professional career.
