Born in 1992, Tim Anderson already enjoys an active international career as a conductor, pianist and opera coach. Tim studied at the Junior Guildhall School of Music, London, and at New College, Oxford University, where he held the Joan Conway Scholarship in performance studies as a conductor and an instrumental scholarship as a pianist.
After graduating in 2013, having conducted performances of Hänsel und Gretel in the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford, Tim was invited to join the music staff of the Teatro Real, Madrid by the late Gérard Mortier. There he conducted a production of Harányi's L'Histoire du petit tailleur as part of the Teatro Real's education programme, and worked as assistant conductor on a programme of Wagner selections with Till Drömann, who then invited him to assist on a Junge Oper production of Dvorak's Rusalka at Oper Stuttgart. In Madrid, he also worked as repetiteur on productions of Tristan und Isolde (Marc Piollet/Peter Sellars), Alceste (Ivor Bolton/Krzysztof Warlikowski) and Lohengrin (Hartmut Haenchen/Lukas Hemleb). Tim also performed before the international press in concerts preceding Tristan und Isolde (Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder with Lithuanian soprano Ausrine Stundyte) and the world premiere of Charles Wuorinen's Brokeback Mountain (Wuorinen's solo piano work Heart Shadow).
After returning to the U.K. in 2014, Tim joined the staff of the English National Opera as a trainee repetiteur, working on productions of Otello (Edward Gardner/David Alden), The Marriage of Figaro (Jaime Martin/Fiona Shaw), La Fanciulla del West (Keri-Lynn Wilson/Richard Jones) and the world stage premiere of John Adams's The Gospel According to the Other Mary (Joana Carneiro/Peter Sellars). Since then, after working with Ivor Bolton on Handel's Saul (Barrie Kosky), Tim has become a regular member of music staff at Glyndebourne for both Festival and Tour. As assistant conductor, Tim worked with Pablo González on Don Giovanni for Glyndebourne Tour 2016, and as a repetiteur/coach and orchestral pianist, productions include the Tour revival of Saul (with Laurence Cummings), Luke Styles's Macbeth (Jeremy Bines/Ted Huffman), and Brett Dean's new Hamlet (Vladimir Jurowski in the Festival and Duncan Ward for the Tour/Neil Armfield). Beyond Glyndebourne, Tim has worked as assistant conductor to David Parry at Garsington Opera on Will Tuckett's production of L'Italiana in Algeri and to Nicholas Chalmers on Thomas Adès's Powder Her Face with Northern Ireland Opera in Belfast. In 2017, Tim also worked as musical assistant on Zesses Seglias's To the Lighthouse at the Bregenzer Festspiele and will return to Belfast to assist Nicholas Chalmers on Così Fan Tutte.
