Freelance composer, arranger, conductor and teacher. After obtaining a BMus (Hons) in 1996, awarded a PhD in Composition from the Ulster University in 2002.
Along with many pieces for choir, I have had work performed by the Ulster Orchestra, Gemini Ensemble, Arco String Quartet, HuuJ Ensemble, Philippa Davies, Anne-Marie O’Farrell and Brian Keenan.
Most recently I conducted the world premiere of my hour-long work ‘18’ for soprano, women’s choir, narrator/poet, string quartet, piano and tape, at the Crumlin Road Gaol. Commissioned by Belfast City Council, it honoured the activism of local suffragettes. Email: acheson.keith@gmail.com

Welcome to Deutsche Grammophon!

Recording great performances of classical music in the best audio quality has been Deutsche Grammophon's mission since it was founded in 1898. The list of artists who have collaborated with the label reads like a roll call of the greatest musicians of the past 100 years: Abbado, Argerich, Barenboim, Bernstein, Boulez, Domingo, Dudamel, Gilels, Horowitz, Karajan, Kleiber, Mutter, Netrebko, Salonen, Zimerman, and so on.

Singer / Songwriter / Composer working in multiple genres including Folk, Americana,  Jazz, Blues, Classical and Electronic music. Also a guitar maker and studio producer. I've been a session musician and soloist in the N. Ireland music scene since the 1980s . 14 albums so far (July 2022) and still gigging on a regular basis.  You'll often find me playing at trad sessions in and around Belfast.
