Greta Eacott is a British/Swedish composer based in Copenhagen, Denmark. She is primarily known for her boundary-pushing percussion works, which incorporate spatial aesthetics, design theory, and physical movement as integral elements. She studied music composition at the University of Leeds, and percussion with the marimba virtuoso Keiko Abe at the Toho Gakuen School of Music, Tokyo. She completed a Nordic Master Course in Music Composition at Gothenburg Academy of Music in Sweden. Her works have been commissioned and performed by ensembles such as Musarc Choir (UK), Copenhagen Clarinet Choir (DK), and G·Bop Orchestra (INT). As a percussionist, Eacott has performed extensively across Europe.
