Gabriel Jackson (b.1962) Gabriel Jackson was born in Bermuda. After three years as a chorister at Canterbury Cathedral he studied composition at the Royal College of Music. Jackson's music has been commissioned, performed and broadcast worldwide, and his works have been presented at many festivals including Aldeburgh, Cheltenham, Spitalfields, and the BBC Proms. His liturgical pieces are in the repertoires of many of Britain's cathedral and collegiate choirs, and his choral works in general have been recorded by some of the world's leading choirs including Polyphony, The Vasari Singers, The State Choir of Latvia, and Merton College Choir, Oxford. He is currently the Associate Composer to the BBC
Singers, who have premiered and broadcast a number of recent commissions. Over recent years Jackson's music has been equally focussed on instrumental works. Commissions include works for organist Michael Bonaventure, Red Note Ensemble, and the Lunar Sax Quartet.Gabriel Jackson's MySpace page

"Jackson's concerto has an easy familiarity that makes it seem like an old friend. In the opening movement sparse textures characterise much of the solo part, as well as punchy chords, while at other points the pianist provides rippling accompaniments to elegantly crafted modal woodwind solos. Elsewhere the lush string writing is unashamedly romantic, though never cloying, and there are several passages of joyous melody and rhythmic vitality. It abounds with tributes (Jackson admits "all music is about other music") but when it results in such a finely structured work, so full of charm and free of tensions, it hardly matters." - David Hart, Birmingham Post
