> Coleman once quit Killing Joke temporarily following a gig in 1982. The

> involvement later, he took up conducting and worked with some of the

> world’s leading orchestras.

> Conductor Klaus Tennstedt described him as a “new Mahler”. Coleman has

> multi-instrumentalist. He studied Arabic music at the Cairo Conservatoire

> and has a passion for Czech folk music and Māori music, among others. One

> Along with Anne Dudley of Art of Noise, in 1990 Coleman co-wrote and

> co-performed the middle-eastern instrumental album called Songs From the

> Victorious City, which refers to Cairo, Egypt.

> 1994 saw the release of Symphonic Music of the Rolling Stones, which

> featured eleven Rolling Stones songs performed by the London Symphony

> Orchestra, produced by Martin Glover and engineered by Chris Kimsey and

> Malcolm Welsford. Coleman arranged the majority of the songs.[citation

> Billboard Magazine Top Classical Crossover Albums chart, and Kashmir:

> Symphonic Led Zeppelin were both written and produced by Coleman with Peter

> Coleman collaborated with over 150 youth musicians in the Contemporary

> Symphony Orchestra, who have issued a CD of his Symphony No. 1 “Idavoll”

> with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, and as composer in residence to

> the Prague Symphony Orchestra.

> In 2001 Coleman was commissioned by the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden

> London for his first large scale opera entitled The Marriage at Cana, which

> in essence is the Gnostic theme of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene and her

> subsequent exile to Provence (predating Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code). The

> libretto was composed by genealogist Sir Laurence Gardner, author of the

> controversial bestseller Bloodline of the Holy Grail. The nine acts of the

> opera were painted by the oil-on-canvas artist Andrew Jones, whose work was

> exhibited at the premiere of the opera on December 9, 2001 at the Royal

> Opera House. The opera received great critical acclaim and is to be

> recorded with Sarah Brightman.

> Also commissioned by the Royal Opera House was Coleman’s Unwanted, a

> concerto grosso for violin, viola and string orchestra whose theme portrays

> the plight of the Romany people of central Europe. This work was in

> collaboration with Czech photographer Jana Tržilová, whose portraits of the

> Roma taken within her own country moved the composer with their deep

> compassion and humanity.

> On March 22, 2003, he was commissioned by the Institute for Complex

> Adaptive Matter ICAM to compose a three-part concerto Music of the Quantum,

> expressing the ideas of the quantum and emergence in musical form, which he

> co-produced with his older brother, Piers Coleman (born 13 February 1958),

> who is a condensed matter physicist at Rutgers University. The event was

> performed at Columbia University to a spectacular response. It was repeated

> the following year at Bethlehem Chapel in Prague.[citation needed]

> On March 22, Sir Laurence Gardner’s book Secrets of the Lost Ark, which

> expounds on anti-gravity and prehistory, was published. Coleman and Gardner

> publicly exchanged their work (book and scores) at the Occulture Lectures

> in Brighton on July 20, 2003, a gesture appropriate to Coleman’s interest

> in themes of renaissance, collaboration, and working in parallels.

> In April 2002, Coleman received an outstanding three Grammies and

> quadruple platinum sales[citation needed] for his concerto for the Czech

> folk group and orchestra production entitled Promeny. 2003 saw Promeny

> being performed in 8,000-10,000 seat auditoriums throughout the Czech

> Republic and Slovakia. That same year, Coleman completed a second work with

> Nigel Kennedy and the Kroke Trio in the role of friend and producer of

> In 2004 and 2005 he arranged the Sarah Brightman album Harem and wrote a

> as composer in residence of the Prague Symphony Orchestra. In early 2006

> Joseph McManners performed Coleman’s Daughter of England at the Royal

> Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic to standing ovation. He also toured

> with Killing Joke in the early part of the year and won a Lifetime

> Achievement Award from Kerrang! magazine. International premieres of

> Coleman’s classical works are too numerous to mention.

> In 2008, Coleman outlined an alternative educational programme based on

> Renaissance principles with the aim of promoting the principles of

> self-education. He completed a series of arias for mezzo-soprano titled The

> Secret Pilgrimage based on the sacred sites he visited during that year.

> Coleman became composer-in-residence of Berlin’s Kammerorchester.

> In 2009, Coleman recorded the Nirvana Suite with the Czech National

> Symphony Orchestra, and played summer festivals across Europe with Killing

> Joke. Coleman travelled from Japan to South India with former bandmate Paul

> Raven’s ashes and participated in Pradakshina.

> barbaric state”. Coleman has also set to work on an ambitious programme
