Life

Watson was born in Melbourne in 1997. As a recipient of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority Margaret Schofield Scholarship in 2015, he graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Music degree from Monash University studying with Mary Finsterer, Paul Grabowsky, Thomas Reiner and conductor Jobst Liebrecht.

His theatre score Caliban, composed during his 2016 Composer in Residence position at Western Edge Arts was produced in partnership with Malthouse Theatre featuring an ethnically diverse cast.

In 2018, celebrating the 340th anniversary of Antonio Vivaldi, Watson produced a CD release called Echoes of Earth. The release includes piano trio works by Watson and a new arrangement by Scott A.
