  George Benjamin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)

Born in London, he studied with Olivier Messiaen at the Paris Conservatoire during the second half of the 1970s and later at King's College, Cambridge, and emerged in his early twenties as a surprisingly mature and confident voice.

 Kenny Benjamin — the 51 year-old security mogul who is light years from retirement - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
Young Benjamin rented a house that was perched on five acres of land in Rock Hall, St Andrew - rural enough he thought, for honing his skills in breeding and training dogs without inviting the irate of neighbours.
Benjamin's theory is that his company's rapid expansion did not reflect a net growth in the industry, but the fact that "we were just taking away business from other companies that existed".
Benjamin demanded a minimum of 60 per cent of the company, which meant that not only would the Jamaican partners have to sell their combined 40 per cent, but Brinks USA would have to be convinced to give up 20 per cent of its stake.

 Stillness and energy crying out for dance | Music | Arts | Telegraph
George Benjamin's fastidious approach to his craft and resulting slow rate of composition mean that premieres of new works from his pen aren't exactly two a penny.
Although playing continuously for a little over a quarter of an hour, the work is made up of nine contrasting character pieces, or "choreographic scenes" and it is their juxtaposition that effectively creates the work's inner drama.
Something of Benjamin's refinement and musical wit were reflected in Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony, the work that had preceded Dance Figures in the concert.
