In the Autumn, he tours the UK with the Sinfonia of London and John Wilson. He tours with Sheku Kanneh-Mason across Europe and North America, including at Carnegie Hall where they are joined by Hilary Hahn. He is also joined once more by Hyeyoon Park, Timothy Ridout and Kian Soltani for Piano Quartets and gives solo recitals including at Wigmore Hall, Theatre des Champs Elysees and makes his debut at Louisiana, Denmark.
Previous concerto engagements have included Cleveland, Boston Symphony, NHK Symphony, Philharmonia, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and Orchestre National de France. Benjamin regularly appears at the BBC Proms, most recently with Ravel G major (2025) and Busoni (2024), and has also performed a solo recital and at the First and Last Nights.
