Life
David Arditti was born in 1964, of mixed Jewish and Austrian descent, brought up on the south coast of England, and now lives in West Hampstead, London. After training for a scientific career he eventually took up music full time and now composes, conducts, accompanies and teaches.
He has studied the piano with Peter Bithell of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, conducting with Neil Thompson, Gregory Rose and George Hurst. As a composer, however, he is very largely self-taught.
He frequently acts as accompanist to singers and instrumentalists in concerts and recitals of his own and other music. He has conducted many choral and orchestral works, including the premieres of some of his own. He was for some time the regular conductor of the Chelsea Singers, a chamber group in London with a wide repertoire.
His compositions include songs and song-cycles, piano music, chamber music, orchestral works, choral music, including a Requiem and a Mass in C, and a film score. Performances have take place all over Britain and in the USA.
His works are published by Oriana Publications (Wales) and Topmusic (Switzerland).
