The past few years have seen a great number of Nimrod Borenstein’s works being commissioned, recorded and premiered at the most prestigious venues and festivals across the globe, from the Royal Festival Hall and Royal Opera House in London to the Salle Gaveau in Paris, Carnegie Hall in New York, and Hong Kong City Hall. His music is performed regularly throughout Europe, Canada, Australia, the Far East, Israel, South America and the USA. In recent years, he has been commissioned to write the obligatory performance pieces for the Hong Kong International Piano Competition (2019) and the International Jeunesses Musicales Competition for violoncello (2020).
Among his high-profile champions, Vladimir Ashkenazy has conducted several of Borenstein’s compositions, culminating in the recording of an album of his orchestral works for Chandos (BBC Music Magazine ‘Choice’). Other leading artists to have performed Borenstein’s music include: Pascal Rogé, Roberto Prosseda, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, the Quartetto di Cremona, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic, the Oxford Philharmonic, the Israel Camerata, the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra.
Nimrod Borenstein is a Laureate of the Cziffra Foundation and an Associate of London’s Royal Academy of Music. His substantial catalogue continues to develop and currently numbers more than 100 works, including orchestral and chamber music as well as vocal and solo instrumental pieces. He also composed the score for a ballet, (Suspended op. 69 commissioned by Gandini Juggling for their ballet for jugglers and dancers 4 x 4 Ephemeral Architectures) which, following its premiere at the the Royal Opera House received more than 250 performances around the world.
Increasingly in demand on the podium, Nimrod Borenstein has various conducting projects underway, currently encompassing orchestras in the UK, France, Italy, Bulgaria, Finland, and Brazil. He will be recording an entire CD Album of his music conducting the English Chamber Orchestra in July 2025.
Commenting on one of his latest CD albums, Gramophone magazine noted that he is “amongst the most recorded of contemporary composers” and that "his conducting brought vivid playing from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra,” while Opus Klassiek hailed him as “an inspired composer but also an inspiring conductor.”
