Hailed as ‘an astonishing composing talent’ (Apple Music), Rodrigo Ruiz’s ‘unabashedly tonal’ (BBC Music Magazine) and ‘impeccably crafted [music]’ (Apple Music) is in high demand amongst top artists and ensembles, with recent commissions coming from soprano Grace Davidson, violinist Kerenza Peacock, violist Ismel Campos, and Mexico’s National System of Musical Endowment (SNFM). His award-winning compositions, published by Universal Edition, have been performed by world-class musicians the likes of Huw Watkins MBE, Laura van der Heijden (BBC Young Musician Award 2012), Christopher Glynn (GRAMMY® Award Winner), Francesca Chiejina (Jette Parker Young Artists Programme graduate at the Royal Opera House), Jocelyn Freeman (The Britten Pears Young Artist and The Oleg Prokofiev Trust), to name a few. As part of Signum Classics star-studded roster he made his debut in 2021 on the Billboard Classical Charts with Behold the Stars, which quickly positioned itself as iTunes UK № 2 Bestseller, and iTunes US № 3 Bestseller; it was included in Apple Music’s Top 10 Albums of the Month, and given a stellar review (★★★★) from BBC Music Magazine. Besides composing, Rodrigo conducts —he was assistant conductor in Naxos Records’ recording of Milhaud: L’Orestie d’Eschyle, nominated for the 2015 GRAMMY® Awards for Best Opera Recording— and loves literature, mythology and languages. He speaks fluent Spanish, English, French and Italian. For more information please visit: www.rodrigoruiz.com
