'The simple suggestiveness of the music belies its complexity, with an atmosphere ranging from urban languor to Mahlerian dreamworld. In this guise, Turnage is both arch-melodist and master-orchestrator.' (Financial Times)

One of Britain's most successful living composers, Mark-Anthony Turnage has achieved international stature and is commissioned and performed throughout the world. Renowned for his intense love and knowledge of jazz, he works highly successfully with many great jazz performers, effortlessly blending the languages of classical and jazz.

His music is colourful, rhythmic, often lyrical and always distinctive, with an innate dramatic sense. Powerful in its contrasts, his music and texts hold up a mirror to the realities of modern life and make a broad appeal to an enquiring contemporary audience.

'Cut Up, Turnage's opening movement is an exhilarating onslaught of rhythm and colour, brilliantly conceived for the orchestra.' (Financial Times)
