About Benedict

Hello!

I am Benedict, a professional violinist and choral bass based in SE London. I am a graduate of Durham University and am currently completing my postgraduate studies at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, in the class of Simon Blendis as a scholar.

Recently, I staffed at Virtuoso International Music Academy, 2-week strings course held at Winchester College . Working alongside professors from London's Royal Conservatoires and top colleges in the country, I coached chamber various string ensembles, (ages 9-18) and assisted in coordinating activities outside of rehearsals and providing pastoral support.

I have performed in the U.K. and internationally, at concert venues such as the Royal Festival Hall, Barbican, Glasshouse International Centre for Music, Milton Court Concert Hall, Durham Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, Kaufman Music Center, Vienna Boys’ Music Hall, National Kaohsiung Centre for the Arts Taiwan.

I am an avid chamber musician, and have studied with distinguished performers such as Rainer Schmidt, Adrian Brendel, Ursula Smith, David Dolan, Jacqueline Ross, Sam Armstrong, members of the Heath, Endellion and Frankland Quartet.

At all levels of education, I enjoyed many opportunities playing and leading in orchestras.
As a first year undergraduate, I led Durham University Orchestral Society’s Chamber Orchestra, performing at Sage Gateshead alongside Sir Thomas Allen. I was also invited to become an orchestral mentee at the Royal Opera House.

Since joining Guildhall last September, I have led the 2nd violins in a performance of Respighi’s Roman Trilogy under Roberto González-Monjas in the Barbican. I also co-led the Symphony Orchestra performance of Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast in the Barbican and String Ensemble’s concert under András Keller in Milton Court. I have worked with leading conductors such as Sir Anthonio Pappano, Ben Glassberg-Frost, Roberto Gonzalez-Monjas, Duncan Ward and Adam Hickox.

I enjoy teaching lessons to students of all abilities, current students range from beginners to beyond diploma standard.

When working with a new student, I like to first identify what they are already passionate about and work it into our lessons. Whether learning some Schubert, Bach or music from Studio Ghibli - I aim to share the joy of performing with my students.

A good performer is a good storyteller. In our lessons, we will explore the technical aspects of playing in combination with musical interpretation. I will offer an array of musical tools to help students express their unique voice with conviction.

At its core, learning music should always be fun and enjoyable. I adapt my methodology to the specific student and steer away from traditional methods of teaching, with the aim of realising a student's best potential.
