Pablo Martinez is a Brazilian composer, performer, and educator based in London. His music, spanning concert and stage works, is driven by a fascination with storytelling, poetic imagery, and the expressive potential of sound in theatre. From intimate chamber pieces exploring fragility and loss to large-scale interdisciplinary collaborations, his compositions blur the boundaries between music, text, movement, and electronic manipulation.

Pablo has collaborated with leading ensembles and artists, including the London Sinfonietta, Red Note Ensemble, Chamber Choir Ireland, and Scottish Freelancers Ensemble. His recent works explore the tension between poetry and structure, and the intersection of words and music, often engaging with theatre and opera. Recent projects include Just for today, written for the London Sinfonietta, which integrates soprano, electronics, and ensemble in an exploration of his mother’s story, created in collaboration with Stephanie Lamprea and Elayce Ismail, and developed under the mentorship of Donnacha Dennehy. Other projects include What Now, Mané?, a hybrid poem-opera performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Susie Sainsbury Theatre; and Look @ Me, a modern dance piece in collaboration with Joseph Strike and Choreographed by Constant Vigier.

His work has been recognised with numerous awards, including selection for the London Sinfonietta’s Writing the Future scheme. He was also the winner of the Nevis Ensemble Wind and Brass Competition (2023) and runner-up in the Dinah Wolfe Memorial Prize (2022).

Pablo holds a first-class BMus (Hons) in Composition from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where he studied with Linda Buckley, David Fennessy, Kate Moore and Stuart MacRae, and a Master’s degree with distinction from the Royal Academy of Music, where he was mentored by Gary Carpenter, David Sawer, Hans Abrahamsen, and Edmund Finnis.
