Mark Glentworth’s work as a composer spans a wide spectrum, from commercial songwriting to orchestral compositions and opera. Most recently, he has composed and performed his award-winning OffFest-nominated solo autobiographical gig theatre show, SEVEN and a half YEARS. Mark has also begun collaborating with singer-pianist Frida Bollani on a new show titled TWO LIVES.
At 16, Mark became the youngest percussionist ever to attend the Royal Northern College of Music. His first published percussion composition, Blues For Gilbert has become the most studied, recorded, and performed tuned percussion piece of all time, amassing thousands of performances on YouTube with over a million collective views. He is also renowned for his over 40-year collaboration with British playwright and actor Steven Berkoff on many of his celebrated theatre productions.
Throughout his career, Mark has travelled the world, performing his live scores in theatre and playing as a percussionist with the late Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’s contemporary ensemble, Fires of London as well as with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the London Sinfonietta.
Mark’s first commercial single, These Three Words is now available on all streaming platforms, including Bandcamp and SoundCloud.
