Sir Karl Jenkins is one of the most performed composers in the world today. Defying conventional categorisation, his style and integrity has transcended musical boundaries and includes jazz-rock with Soft Machine, the ‘cross-genre’ phenomenon Adiemus, soundtracks for Levi’s and British Airways and a score for a movie featuring Kiefer Sutherland. His work The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace has been performed up to 3,000 times and the recording has remained in the UK classical charts for 17 years.
Knighted in 2015, Sir Karl Jenkins has been hailed as the most popular living composer by Classic FM’s ‘The Ultimate Hall of Fame’, and praised by Classic FM Magazine for his approach to composing that is ‘perfectly in tune with the spirit of the times.’
