Queensland based composer Dr Samuel Dickenson has been hailed as one of Australia’s most exciting young talents, praised for his “singular and imaginative spark of individuality.”
During his study at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Samuel achieved the Alan Lane Award for the highest achieving composition portfolio. He later completed a Ph.D. in composition at The University of Queensland.
Samuel’s music has been performed internationally, reaching audiences in Malaysia, Singapore, Germany, Austria, France, and China. In 2017, he joined forces with fellow Brisbane composer Andrew Wrangell to create the popular YouTube channel Sheet Music Boss, which currently has over 3 million subscribers and more than 1 billion views.
