“Approachable, punchy writing, with a real rhythmic drive. The sheer spectacle and volume are compelling” – The Times “This story is one that needs to be told, and it is told using music that needs to be listened to. If you’re in London, if you’re listening, go” – The Guardian “Exquisite ... inherently melancholy and ultimately soul-bearing” – The Upcoming “Real music.” – Chris Brannick Anglo-French composer Tim Benjamin is well known for his award-winning and critically acclaimed work across the field of classical music, from solo and chamber works to large-scale orchestral music and the opera stage. Broadcast and performed internationally, his large scale works include the oratorio “Herakles” and his first Symphony, premiered at the 2021 Enescu Festival under Rumon Gamba and ecstatically received by audiences at the festival and broadcast across Europe. As a film composer he has been recognised by many festival selections and awards, and his music for TV makes frequent appearances on small screens around the world. He is also a director for stage and screen, and as a writer has created many librettos, scripts, adaptations, and other texts. He believes strongly in the power of storytelling through music, film, and the human voice and is in demand as a public speaker, having given a TED talk on the subject of inspiration. Tim studied at the RNCM with Anthony Gilbert, privately with the late Steve Martland, and at Oxford University with Robert Saxton. https://timbenjamin.com
