Benjamin made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2006, performing Ravel’s G major Concerto to acclaim, while further international debuts followed in Brazil and the Czech Republic in the Chopin Second Concerto, with the latter performance drawing the headline “Genius sets a very high benchmark”.

Engagements in 2006-07 included his début in the Grieg Concerto and return recitals at several venues including Wigmore Hall, in which the Daily Telegraph lauded Benjamin’s playing, which “revealed an imagination of touch, tonal shading, phrasing and dynamics”. The 2007 season ended with concerts featuring the Chopin First Concerto in North Carolina, Germany and in a UK tour with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

Born in July 1992, the youngest of five brothers, Benjamin began piano studies age 6 with his mother, before later receiving lessons with Hilary Coates and Christopher Elton, with whom he now studies at the Royal Academy of Music. He has signed an innovative development agreement with EMI, under which he will gain studio experience prior to a début recording. Benjamin has been featured in two BBC television documentaries, while his performances have been broadcast in the UK, Europe and the USA.

He has toured with the Philharmonia and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestras, given a German recital tour and made his Royal Festival Hall début. He made his Wigmore Hall chamber music debut in 2009 with members of the ECO.
