"His music brought a new depth of emotion to the piece that I couldn’t have conceptualised alone. I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to work with him again."
Leto Meade, award winning animation director
'Aaron King is a talented and original composer of music for choir. His music is lyrical, well crafted and full of colour. Choirs everywhere need to sing this music.'
Paul Mealor, internationally acclaimed composer
"I have been to many musicals at the fringe in the past and the music very rarely sounds as good as it did at this show."
From Phoenix Remix's review for Come Dine With Me: The Musical'
While Aaron enjoys writing in a variety of media, his work is united by an emphasis on storytelling. Though classically trained, he is highly versatile and his output spans a variety of genres, with a strong emphasis on melody and harmony weaving his diverse oeuvre together. In 2017 he won the inaugural Oxford University Music Society Composition Competition and he was also the winner of the 2019 Sir David Willcocks carol competition.
Aaron has been composing since the age of 7. He is also active as an orchestral and choral conductor and regularly performs in a variety of contexts - he plays the Organ, Piano, Flute, and sings, both in ensembles and as a soloist. He achieved grade 8 with distinction in all of these at a young age and holds a performance diploma from the ABRSM.
"Aaron’s music fits the choir’s voice like a perfect glove. His ability to craft melody is unique among modern composers, and lends a beautiful spirituality to any service. We can’t wait to perform more works by this exceptional musician"
James Fellows - Musical Director, Luceat Choir
'Working with Aaron was a real pleasure. His deep passion and professional approach have taken the project to a higher level.'
Riccardo Soriano - GSA BAFTA shortlisted documentary film director
