Michael Berkeley (b.1948) Michael Berkeley was born in 1948. He studied composition, singing, and piano at the Royal Academy of Music but it was not until his late twenties, when he went to study with Richard Rodney Bennett, that Berkeley began to concentrate exclusively on composing. In 1977 he was awarded the Guinness Prize for Composition; two years later he was appointed Associate Composer to the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. Since then Michael's music has been played all over the globe and by some of the world's finest musicians. Most of Michael's significant orchestral work, much of his chamber music and his operas are available on CD as part of the Chandos Berkeley Edition. For ten years from 1995
Michael was artistic director of the Cheltenham International Festival of Music. He currently presents Radio 3's Private Passions, which won the Broadcasting Press Guild's Radio Programme of the Year Award in 1996, and is Chairman of the Governors of The Royal Ballet.Michael Berkeley's website

"Berkeley has created a musical language for envoking the jungle with gamelan instrumetns included quite naturally in a rich tapestry of sound. The continuity is lyrical in a particularly personal way and the dramatic effects are telling." - Peter Dickinson, The Musical Times "Altogether more tantalising , was the first performance of Michael Berkeley's Entertaining Mister Punch, which owes its title and some of its musical thinking to a Kipling-based opera on which he is working...Berkeley deftly, marvellously conjures a gradual movement of his dream into Balinese territory. Another world is discovered: the pages of The Jungle Book open, and then with a shudder close." - Paul Griffiths, The Times
