Danyal Dhondy composes and arranges music for live performance, film, and theatre.
With recent commissions from Making Music, Orchestras for All,
London Schools Symphony Orchestra, Cantata Dramatica,
Kensington Chamber Orchestra, Galaksen Theatre
and Leeds International Piano Competition,
Danyal's music is frequently performed
across the UK and further afield.
His critically-acclaimed opera reductions
have been performed in several languages
and countries, and his string arrangements
feature on recordings of bands and songwriters,
including Sam Lee's Mercury-nominated album
'Ground of its Own'. He is composer-in-residence at
Orchestras for All, and an associate artist at Tara Arts.
He was nominated for a British Composer award in 2015
and an Arts Foundation Award in Opera Composition in 2010.
