Biography
Gabriel Prokofiev (born 6 January 1975) is a Russian-British composer, producer, DJ, and founder of the Nonclassical record label and nightclub. He has been nominated for two Ivor Novello Awards and his works have been performed internationally by orchestras such as BBC Philharmonic, St Petersburg Philharmonic, Seattle Symphony, Detroit Symphony, MDR Leipzig, Buenos Aires Philharmonic, and Royal Seville Symphony Orchestra.
He has often collaborated with choreographers and ballet companies, composing works for the Rambert Dance Company, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Katarzyna Kozielska’s Dark Glow, premiered by Stuttgart Ballet, and Bayadère: The Ninth Life, choreographed by Shobana Jeyasingh
In 2019, after attracting the attention of Regensburg Opera, Gabriel was commissioned to write his first full-length opera, ‘Elizabetta', an invigorating mix of classic operatic aria and recitative with techno and dance, TV commercials, Congolese song, contemporary classical, and electronic music.
In 2022 Prokofiev composed the soundtrack for Litvinenko, the ITVX drama about the poisoning of former Russian security officer Alexander “Sasha” Litvinenko who had defected to the UK.
Gabriel Prokofiev is known for OK Computer (2021), Opponent (2014), and Melior Street (2011).
