English composer Judith Bingham (b1952).
Born in Nottingham, and raised in Mansfield and Sheffield, Judith Bingham began composing as a small child, and then studied composing and singing at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Her composition studies there with Alan Bush and Eric Fenby were later supplemented by lessons from Hans Keller. She was awarded the Principal’s prize in 1971, and six years later the BBC Young Composer award. Composition prizes include the Barlow Prize for a cappella music in 2004, two British Composer Awards in 2004 (choral and liturgical) and one in 2006 (choral).
