Colin Eatock is a Canadian author, journalist and composer who lives in Toronto, Ontario.

He was born in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1958, and attended the University of Western Ontario,[1] McMaster University[2] and The University of Toronto,[3] from which he received a PhD in musicology.

Eatock has written for Toronto's Globe and Mail newspaper,[4] and also the New York Times,[5] the Houston Chronicle,[6] the Kansas City Star and the San Antonio Express News, as well as numerous magazines and journals[7][8][9][10] in Canada, the USA and the UK.

He has also written two books: the first is on the life of Felix Mendelssohn,[11] and the second is a collection of interviews about the pianist Glenn Gould.[12]

He is an associate member of the Canadian Music Centre,[13] which released a CD of his compositions entitled "Colin Eatock: Chamber Music" in 2012 on its Centrediscs label.[14] This CD contains six of his compositions: his Ashes of Soldiers (2010), Suite for Piano (1995), Tears of Gold (2000), Three Songs from Blake's "America" (1987), Three Canzonas for Brass Quartet (1991), and The Lotos-Eaters (2000).
