new Artistic projects

Upcoming projects include: the world premiere of a large-scale oratorio entitled The Fall at The Wigmore Hall, 3rd July, 2025.

Written for Voices, Strings and Electronics, the new work will be performed by conductor Patrick Allies, violinist Amy Tress, cellist Maddie Cutter and vocal ensemble Siglo De Oro (currently resident at The Wigmore Hall). The 45 minute piece features a new libretto by writer and film director Sophia Carr-Gomm, bringing to life the myth of the Trojan horse and the self-destructive nature of humanity.

Upcoming film premieres include: Carr-Gomm’s new film Return, opening at the London Film Week, for which Ben’s soundtrack has been nominated for the ‘Best Original Soundtrack Award’ at the WMIFF Film Festival, Washington DC; and Yours Is The Earth, a beautiful short film by director Finn Lusty.

Newly commissioned music (string quartet and vocals) for BBC Radio 3’s ‘Music and Meditation’ podcast will be released on Spotify, Apple Music and BBC Sounds on 1st June.

Later in 2025 Ben will be collaborating with director Jack Furness on an immersive theatre project for release in 2026.

Following the premiere of new song cycle ‘Echo’ for award winning mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston and lutenist Toby Carr at the Purbeck Arts Week, the Festival have commissioned a new work for Charlston and ECSE for their 2026 festival.

2026 will also see Ben’s experimental vocal work The Short Walk of a Madman was used as the soundtrack to the silent film A Short Walk, directed by Sophia Carr-Gomm which will be screened as part of live concert performances.

Last year, Ben was delighted to be appointed as a Stipendiary Lecturer in Music at the University of Oxford where he continues visiting to teach composition students.
