Graham Waterhouse is a cellist and contemporary composer who was born in London and resides in Germany. His compositions focus on chamber music. They have been performed and recorded internationally. As a cellist, he has written for his own instruments and other string instruments, but being the son of bassoonist William Waterhouse, he has also been familiar with double reed instruments, and several works were commissioned by the International Double Reed Society (IDRS), usually first performed at their annual conventions. He has run a series of chamber music concerts at the Gasteig in Munich, where several works received their premiere. His first notable composition, the first movement of his String Sextet, Op. 1, was written in 1979, and a duo for two violins, Fantasia Ucraina, in 2022.[1]
