Education
Born in Tel Aviv, Nimrod grew up in Paris where he started his musical education at the age of 3. In 1984 he became a Laureat of the Cziffra Foundation and subsequently moved to London in 1986 to pursue his studies as a violinist with Itzhak Rashkovsky at the Royal College of Music. He was then awarded the highest scholarship from the Leverhulme Trust to study composition with Paul Patterson at the Royal Academy of Music. He is now an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music and is listed amongst the alumni as an illustrious past student.
Composer
Vladimir Ashkenazy has been a supporter of Nimrod's music for many years. In 2013 he conducted the Philharmonia Orchestra for a performance of The Big Bang and Creation of the Universe. Later that year Ashkenazy conducted the Philharmonia Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall for the world premiere of If you will it, it is no dream, a piece written especially for the occasion.
The past few years have seen Nimrod Borenstein's compositions premiered and performed at the Royal Opera House and the Royal Festival Hall in London, the Salle Gaveau in Paris and the Carnegie Hall in New York. His works have also featured in numerous music festivals across Europe such as It’s All About Piano in London, the Burgos International Music Festival and Belgrade Cello Fest.
Borenstein's Shell Adagio (published by Boosey & Hawkes) has been played more than 30 times by 16 different orchestras, including a concert at Carnegie Hall. In 2014 his Violin concerto was premiered by Dmitry Sitkovetsky and the Oxford Philomusica conducted by Marios Papadopoulos at the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford. A particular highlight of the 2014/15 season was the world premiere at the Royal Opera House of Suspended, a work written for Gandini Juggling's 4 x 4: Ephemeral Architectures show. A huge international success, Suspended has had to date more than 100 performances (from the Edinburgh International Festival to the Taipei Arts Festival etc) and continues to tour the world.
Nimrod Borenstein's substantial catalogue currently numbers over seventy works including orchestral and chamber music as well as vocal and solo instrumental pieces.
