Ben Goldscheider has premiered over 50 new works for horn, spanning concerti, solo, chamber, and cross-genre projects鈥攊ncluding those incorporating live electronics and lighting. In the 2025鈥�26 season, he gives world premiere performances of Sirens by Anna Clyne with the London Mozart Players, and Laurence Osborn鈥檚 Horn Concerto with Manchester Camerata.
Born in London in 1997, Ben studied at the Royal College of Music Junior Department with Susan Dent and in 2020 Ben completed his studies with honours at the Barenboim-Said Academy in Berlin with Radek Babor谩k. He was a prize-winner at the 2019 YCAT International Auditions, Concerto Finalist in the 2016 BBC Young Musician Competition, and an ECHO Rising Star for the 2021/22 season nominated by the Barbican, London.
Simon Callaghan performs internationally as a soloist and chamber musician, in parallel with a highly successful career as a recording artist. A favourite performer at the internationally-renowned Husum Festival of Piano Rarities in Germany, Callaghan鈥檚 recent sell-out concert was praised by VAN Magazine as a 鈥渃leverly curated recital full of discoveries鈥� and by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as 鈥渢echnically brilliant鈥�. Callaghan has developed a wide following and appears on a regular basis in the UK鈥檚 major concert halls, and on tours to Asia, North America and Europe.
Simon Callaghan鈥檚 distinguished and eclectic discography includes recordings for Hyperion, Nimbus and Lyrita. He has a strong profile on BBC Radio3 and on a variety of streaming platforms, his most recent single on Apple Music with Coco Tomita surpassing 1 million streams in the first month of its release. He is a strong social media enthusiast, using it as a form of promotion for classical music in general but seeing it as a particular tool in his advocacy of the rare and unexplored.
