Benjamin Tubb-Hearne is an Australian composer, arranger and tenor horn player writing for brass and wind ensembles, soloists and community groups. His music includes original works and commissions for brass band, concert band and wind ensemble, with performances across Australia, the UK and Europe.

British-born, Benjamin has been a musician for as long as he can remember, beginning piano at the age of five before moving into brass playing soon after. Joining a brass band at 11 helped shape his musical life, and he later found his home on tenor horn, eventually performing with the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain on Solo Horn.

Benjamin studied composition and tenor horn at the Royal Northern College of Music, where he was awarded the Sellers Scholarship on entry. During his time in Manchester, he received commissions from soloists and ensembles in the UK and abroad, including YBS Band, Hepworth Band, the RNCM, Matthew White, Glenn Van Looy and David Childs.

His music has been performed internationally and broadcast on BBC Radio 2. Since moving to Australia in 2014, Benjamin has continued to build a career as both a performer and composer, with works selected for performance and contest use across brass and band settings. He is currently Solo Horn with Brisbane Excelsior Brass Band and serves as the band’s composer in residence.
