Benjamin Yeo (b.1985) is a Singaporean composer-conductor who is internationally recognized for his original wind band works.
Benjamin started writing and arranging music for wind bands and ensembles at the age of fifteen before learning under the tutelage of his principal teacher, Dr. Kelly Tang and through seminars with Dr. Zechariah Goh. His works have since been performed at both national and international platforms such as the locally-held Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation for Brass/Concert Bands, the Japan Band Clinic in Hamamatsu and the prestigious Midwest Clinic, an annual International Band and Orchestra Conference held in Chicago, Illinois. He has also been invited to serve as an adjudicator for events such as the Junior Band Festival in Singapore, the All Chinese Wind Band Competition in Taiwan and The Sichuan Wind Orchestra Competition in China. Most of Benjamin's compositions have been published by well-known and long-lasting American publisher of band music, C. L. Barnhouse Company. Selected works have also been published by Carl Fischer Music (USA) as well as reputable European publishing houses including Beriato Music (Belgium) and Tierolff Muziekcentrale (The Netherlands). Since 2008, a number of Benjamin's works have ranked in the Top 100 of over 800 titles in the American Band College/Band World Magazine/Western International Band Clinic Literature Lists. His music has also been recorded by renowned ensembles like The Washington Winds in the USA, the Royal Netherlands Army Band ‘Johan Willem Friso’, Rundfunk Blasorchester Leipzig, Royal Band of the Belgian Guides and The Royal Band of the Belgian Air Force in Europe. Most recently, his "Winds of Niagara" won the Dallas Wind Symphony Fanfare Competition and was premiered by the Dallas Winds on March 2017 at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. Benjamin is actively involved in the local band scene and has guest-performed for many tertiary and professional groups as well as guest-conducted various ensembles in Singapore. His experience in band directing has enabled him to work with students across a wide spectrum of educational institutions ranging from primary to tertiary levels. As a conductor, he has been under the mentorship of prominent professors in the field such as Dr. Mallory Thompson, Dr. Steven Davis and Dr. Shawn Vondran from the USA and Associate Professor Chan Tze Law from Singapore. A well sought-after composer-conductor, Benjamin largely writes commissioned works and remains an active clinician and conductor with both local and overseas invitations. He is a member of the Composers and Authors Society of Singapore (COMPASS). |
