Ben joined BMVC as their Musical Director in February 2025, having previously studied with Julian Wilkins (CBSO), and Yeo Yat-Soon at the University of Birmingham. When not attempting to elicit sounds through vague gestures, Ben can be found in the music library at the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, wandering over the Purbecks and Cairngorms, or buying small quantities of paint and screws for odd jobs around the flat.
