Alex Silverman has won acclaim and awards for his composition, arrangement, and direction of music. Though he is most often found in the theatre or in front of a choir, his output includes work for TV, Radio and Film. He is comfortable working in a broad range of styles- from Baroque Opera to contemporary Jazz, sometimes both at the same time. Alex’s approach to music-making is thoughtful and playful, and his distinctive voice has proved increasingly popular with performers, critics and audiences alike.
“Music Director Silverman is the man to watch”
The Independent
“A master of pastiche”
The Times
“Silverman’s arrangements are the show’s greatest asset”
Evening Standard
