Priti Paintal (born 1960) is a British composer, performer, music producer and promoter who lives and works in England.
Paintal received a master's degree in ethnomusicology before moving to England to study composition at York University and the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester with Anthony Gilbert.
Her music brings together traditional, classical and jazz performers in a unique mix of Indian roots and contemporary flair.
Other performers have included the Philharmonia Orchestra in the premiere of "Secret Chants", the title track of ShivaNova’s latest CD, and she has written works for the City of London Sinfonia, Bournemouth Sinfonietta, East of England Orchestra, the Balanescu and Bingham string quartets, the Park Lane Sextet, and numerous singers and instrumentalists.
Some of Priti's work is held in the British Music Collection[7] Archive at Heritage Quay University of Huddersfield.
