Gregory Borton

Gregory Borton (b. 2002) is an emerging young composer from Hamilton, Ontario. He started piano lessons at age 4 but, much to the dismay of his teacher, he was more interested in rearranging the exercises than following them. His subsequent compositions were light and simple, yet smart and enjoyable. He soon immersed himself in classical scores and his career as a composer began. Beginning with developing pieces for trios and chamber groups, by the age of 15 Gregory composed his first symphony. He has been building his catalogue since then, adding concertos and other orchestral and chamber works. His work, Sinfonia Fantasia, was performed by the Brott Music Festival in 2019. He composed a Violin Sonata for Isabella D’Eloize Perron, and was performed in 2021. Recent works include Concerto A5 performed by the Gallo Chamber Players in 2025 as part of Early Music Vancouver’s summer festival.
