Jack Sheen is a composer and conductor from Manchester whose music ranges from concert works for orchestras to immersive loud-speaker and performance-installations.

Alongside 'Sub', recent projects include a sound-installation for the Venice Biennale Musica featuring Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart, a four-hour work for Casa de Serralves (Porto) for 50 voices and ensemble, and conducting Matthew Barney & Jonathan Bepler’s large-scale interdisciplinary performance 'Catasterism in Three Movements', commissioned by Basel’s Schaulager. In 2022 he will return to perform at Lucerne Festival and Tanglewood Music Centre (USA), and work with the Royal Opera House, London Sinfonietta, London Contemporary Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic and Ensemble 10/10.

Jack has written music for ensembles including the London Symphony Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, Apartment House, Les Métaboles, and EXAUDI. As a conductor, the last year saw Jack make his debut with the LSO, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Basel Sinfonietta, Britten Sinfonia, Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra, and FontanaMIX Ensemble in diverse programmes including premieres of his own music.

He is the Co-Director of London Contemporary Music Festival (‘the capital’s most adventurous and ambitious festival of new music’, The Guardian; ‘London’s most important festival’, The Wire) which returns 15–19 June 2022 at Woolwich Works.
