“His approach to composition is remarkable“
The Guardian, 2021
Nahum has scored award-winning short films in addition to concert pieces which range from large-scale orchestral works to chamber music and solo piano. He draws inspiration from English Pastoral composers such as Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst, and romantic composers such as Chopin and Rimsky-Korsakov.
A Pastoral Paradise
Nahum lives in Dorset, UK, and incorporates both folk and romantic influences to evoke a sense of the world around him into his compositions. His experience with film music also leads him to build a sound-world within his pieces that is characterful and full of life. His personal compositional style is quintessentially English Pastoral – lush harmonies, storytelling, and charm.
