Higgins was born in Gloucestershire (1983), UK and studied French horn and composition at Chetham’s School of Music, The Royal Northern College of Music, and the Royal College of Music. Winner of Best Orchestral Composition for ‘Horn Concerto’ described by the Judges as “a striking and memorable work that pushes the boundaries of traditional concertos, its originality and sophisticated orchestration create a compelling and beautifully crafted piece” and “overall, it stands out for its creativity and musical innovation.” His work has been commissioned by some of the UK’s leading festivals, including four commissions for the BBC Proms: Der Aufstand (2012), Rough Voices (2020), the ‘fast, exciting and brilliantly scored’ [The Telegraph] Velocity which opened the Last Night of the Proms (2014), and his most recent and substantial piece, the ‘ingenious work’ [Observer ★★★★★] Concerto Grosso for Brass Band and Orchestra (2022) for which he won a Royal Philharmonic Society Award and a South Bank Sky Arts Award.
