Conductor & Composer
Ben is a Yorkshire born and based orchestral conductor and composer with 20 years experience working in the music industry. Ben loves collaboration with other art forms, be it ballet or computer games, and is inspired by a firm belief that music can tell stories as eloquently as any art that humankind has created. Ben has set up and run Skipton Camerata and is now reviving the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra.
“The idea that there’s some sort of intrinsically more artistic characteristic in a southerner than a northerner absolutely does my nut in. I’m not saying classical music is for everyone, it isn’t, but it should be available for anyone.”
