Molly Frances Arnuk is a London-based composer from New York. She describes her music as minimal and often process-based. 

​

Molly graduated in 2025 with a first-class Bachelor of Music degree in composition at the Royal College of Music, where she was grateful to be a Big Give Scholar. She studied under professors Haris Kittos and Catherine Kontz and received additional mentorship in lessons and masterclasses with Michael Finnissy, Dani Howard, Helen Grime, Jenni Watson, George Lewis, and Nicola LeFanu. She has recently began studying for a Master of Music in composition at Guildhall School of Music and Drama with professors Laurence Crane and Sylvia Lim, where she is supported with a Guildhall School scholarship. 

​

As the 2025 winner of the OpusHER Award, Molly was commissioned by EMPOWER Women Changing Music with performances at King’s Place, the Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room, the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, and the Royal Irish Academy of Music, and a publication by Tetractys. Other recent projects include an installation for Kew Gardens’ Sound of Blossom Festival, a portrait concert in St Mary Le Strand’s Contemporary Music Series, and a piece in collaboration with the English National Ballet School’s Young Choreographer’s Showcase at The Wallace Collection.

​

Molly looks forward to upcoming collaborations with London Contemporary Dance School, the Figura Singers, soprano Emily Wishart, and violinist Amber Correa.
