Timeline
Benjamin Dwyer (born 3 August 1965) is an Irish composer, guitarist and musicologist.
Dwyer was born in Dublin and studied the classical guitar at the DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama, Dublin, and at the Royal Academy of Music, London.
He was awarded the Villa-Lobos Centenary Medal by the Brazilian Government in 1987, elected to Aosdána in 2006, and made an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, London, in 2009.
As a musicologist, Dwyer has published monographs and written articles for the Journal of Music in Ireland.
Among Irish composers, Benjamin Dwyer has made one of the largest and most sustained contributions to the repertoire for classical guitar.
He has been involved in the promotion and performance of new music in Ireland since 1990, when he instituted the "Mostly Modern" series and festival (later known as "MUSIC21"), and he is founder and director of the VOX21 new music ensemble, which premiered many new works by Irish and international composers.
He has also been active as artistic director and organiser of concert series and festivals, bringing tailored events to the National Concert Hall and Sligo Contemporary Music Festival.
He also studied music at Trinity College Dublin, and in 2000 he received a PhD in composition from Queen's University Belfast.
As a guitarist, he made his concerto debut with Rodrigo's Concierto d'Aranjuez with the Neubrandenburg Philharmonic Orchestra in Germany; since then he has performed as soloist with most of the major Irish orchestras and string quartets, and he has given recitals throughout Europe and North America.
He has also performed with a variety of chamber music partners, including tenor John Elwes, saxophonist Kenneth Edge, flautist Susan Doyle, jazz guitarist Mike Nielsen and classical guitarist Dario Macaluso.
Often in his music, conflicting ideas result not in resolution but in mutual annihilation, a process seen clearly in his Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra (2000), which illustrates the universal forces of creation (Rajas), preservation (Sattva) and destruction (Tamas) described in the Indian Vedic traditions.
This piece also demonstrates Dwyer's fascination with Hindu philosophy and other ritual and mythopoetic ideas.
Works for or including guitar
Dwyer spent the years 2002 to 2007 in Spain (Andalusia and Barcelona), before returning to Ireland, where he teaches guitar at the Royal Irish Academy of Music since 2009.
Dwyer also makes frequent use of rhythmic ostinati, as in Voces críticas (2004), the Guitar Quintet (2003) and several of the Études.
Dwyer also curated "Remembering Ligeti" in 2007 and "Remembering Britten" in 2013 in Dublin.
His Twelve Études, composed over a period of twelve years and completed in 2008, comprise the summation of his writing to date for the instrument.
His treatment of melodic cells, exploring and reshaping their musical potential by increments, and avoiding the traditional development, can give his musical language the appearance of being extemporised.
Since 2012 he holds the first professorship in music at Middlesex University.
Dwyer has a strong interest in contemporary art music.
