Geoffrey Hanson founded the London Ripieno Society in 1962, shortly after graduating from Trinity College of Music, London.  The Society has formed the basis for his composing and performing career.  With them he has performed music from the Baroque, Romantic and Modern repertoire and many of his own compositions have been given their first performance by the Society.  These have included choral works, music for chorus and orchestra, two operas and several concertos.

In 1997 he founded the East Finchley Arts Festival, an annual event at which the London Mozart Players have premiered three of his works written especially for them.

Hanson's Conversation Piece for violin and `cello soloists with orchestra was premiered by them at the 2006 Festival with soloists David Juritz and Sebastian Comberti.

His Piano Concerto No. 2 was premiered at the 2007 East Finchley Arts Festival by Rimantas Vingras and the London Mozart Players, with the composer conducting.

Hanson’s career has taken him to Paris, Italy and the USA both as conductor, composer and recital organist.
