THE DREAMERS (2022)

“a major addition to the repertoire” - The Trombonist Magazine

“There is something so refreshingly honest about Haigh’s writing [...] his music feels like it’s pushing boundaries in the perfect way [...] new, refreshing, a mindset that is so ostensibly now”
- What is Metamodern? Journal

Grin (2019) - Ivor Novello Award Winner 

🏆

“a quirky, playful, bold and original work with a highly distinctive musical language and sound. It is unpredictable, taking the listener in unexpected directions.” - Ivors Composer Awards 

“[Haigh] paints a smeared canvas teeming with cheeky flourishes, including weird, almost Mahlerian jigs and manically balletic swooshes” ★★★★ - Neil Fisher, The Times

”Robin Haigh’s dream-like No One is laced with exotic, vibrato-like effects; in this reflective premiere, Oliver Wass taps into an archaic, timeless vein.” - Musical Opinion Magazine

In Feyre Foreste (2016) - British Composer Award Winner 

🏆

“[In Feyre Foreste] inhabits an extraordinary sound-world full of surprises, was completely refreshing, with remarkable ensemble writing creating a magical narrative. The piece stood out from an impressively strong and diverse group.” - British Composer Awards
