Sir Karl Jenkins is one of the most performed living composers in the world.
Educated at Gowerton Grammar School, Cardiff University and the Royal Academy of
Music, London, The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace alone has been performed over
2000 times in 20 different countries since the CD was released while his
recorded output has resulted in seventeen gold and platinum disc awards.

His style and integrity has transcended musical boundaries encompassing
jazz-rock with Soft Machine, the global ‘crossover’ phenomenon
Adiemus, soundtracks for Levis and British Airways, while stopping off along the
way to score a Kiefer Sutherland movie, be a castaway on BBC “Desert
Island Discs”, be featured by Melvyn Bragg on the ITV seminal South Bank
Show and be awarded the Freedom of the City of London. Recordings on Warner
Classics include Requiem, Stabat Mater, Quirk, Stella Natalis and The
Peacemakers, on Deutsche Grammophon Adiemus Colores, Motets and Cantata Memoria,
and on Decca Symphonic Adiemus. He has composed music for HRH The Prince of
Wales, Bryn Terfel, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Dame Evelyn Glennie and the London
Symphony Orchestra amongst many others.

A Doctor of Music, he holds Fellowships, Honorary Doctorates and Professorships
at five universities or conservatoires, including the Royal Academy of Music,
where a room has been named in his honour. In November 2009 he was given the
Cymru For The World Award and in March 2010 was honoured with the Hopkins Medal
given by the St. David’s Society for the State of New York.

In 2015 he was confirmed as the most popular living composer in Classic
FM’s ‘Ultimate Hall of Fame’ and holds the Classic FM
‘Red f’ award for ‘outstanding service to classical
music’. He was awarded a Knighthood in the 2015 Queen’s Birthday
