Eleanor Deanne Therese Alberga OBE, born on 30 September 1949 in Kingston, Jamaica, is a notable contemporary music composer now residing in the UK. From a young age, Eleanor aspired to be a concert pianist and began writing music at just five years old. After completing her studies at the Jamaica School of Music, she moved to London on a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, where she honed her skills under the guidance of Richard Stoker.

Throughout her career, Alberga has composed numerous works, including two Violin Concertos, a Trumpet Concerto, and a Symphony. She has shared her passion for music as a guest lecturer at the Royal Academy of Music and has worked with various prestigious orchestras, such as the Royal Philharmonic and London Philharmonic.

In 1992, she married violinist Thomas Bowes, and they perform together under the name Double Exposure. Alberga’s contributions to music have not gone unnoticed; in 2021, she was honoured as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her remarkable services to music.
