Young Anglo-German conductor Tim Anderson is rapidly emerging as one of the most versatile conductors of his generation. Since graduating from New College, Oxford, Tim has worked in many of the great theatres of Europe, becoming increasingly known for performances of great intensity and high drama, particularly in repertoire of the 20th and 21st centuries. Born in 1992, Tim studied at the Junior Guildhall School of Music, London, and at New College, Oxford, where he held the Joan Conway Scholarship in performance studies as a conductor and an instrumental scholarship as a pianist. He has studied conducting with Peter Stark, Michael Omer and at the Jorma Panula Academy in Helsinki, and has participated in masterclasses with Bernard Haitink. A performance of Hänsel und Gretel while studying at Oxford led to an invitation to the Teatro Real, Madrid by the late Gerard Mortier at only twenty-one years of age. He now enjoys an active international career working on diverse operatic and concert repertoire.

While working in Madrid, Tim conducted several performances and worked on the music staff for major productions of Tristan und Isolde, Lohengrin and Gluck Alceste. He was then awarded a job at English National Opera, became a regular member of the music team at the Glyndebourne Festival after his work with Ivor Bolton in Madrid, and has worked as a guest at a number of other major theatres and festivals including Oper Stuttgart, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, the Bregenzer Festspiele, the Adelaide Festival, Garsington Opera, Northern Ireland Opera, Opera North, with the London Philarmonic Orchestra and Birmingham Contemporary Music Group.
