Charles Hazlewood, composer
Charles Hazlewood is the dynamic young British conductor already well known as the "face of classical music" (The Daily Telegraph) of the BBC, for whom he has authored and conducted many groundbreaking TV programs. Hazlewood won first prize at the European Broadcasting Union conducting competition in Lisbon in 1995. He regularly conducts the BBC orchestras, and has guest conducted with many of the leading orchestras across the UK. In June 2003, he made his Carnegie Hall debut conducting the Orchestra of St. Luke’s. He is curating and conducting a major Mozart festival with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in January 2006. His passion to explore music of all varieties with the widest possible audience has lead him to work with some of the most celebrated contemporary composers; in the past six years he has conducted over fifty world premieres, worked with the rawest new South African vocal talent, and explored artists at the cutting edge of the popular music scene in the UK.
