Tim Benjamin (composer)

Tim Benjamin (born 1975) is an English composer.

Tim Benjamin was born in 1975, grew up in North London and attended Christ's Hospital school.

He studied composition at the Royal Northern College of Music under Anthony Gilbert, privately with Steve Martland and with Robert Saxton at the University of Oxford.

He lives in Todmorden, West Yorkshire.[when?]

Benjamin composes chamber-sized one-act operas for performance in small theatres and non-standard spaces.

His first opera The Bridge (to a libretto by David Edgar) won the Stephen Oliver Trust's Prize for Contemporary Opera in 1994, resulting in its performance as part of the Covent Garden Festival in 1998.

His second opera, The Corley Conspiracy, was performed in September 2007 at the Southbank Centre, London.

His opera Emily (libretto by the composer) was first performed at the Todmorden Hippodrome in July 2013.
