Kevin Griffiths has worked with composer Rodolphe Schacher, conducted a UK premiere by American composer Steven Mackey. Five further première performances by different composers including Elena Firsova at the Dartington Summer Festival were received with considerable acclaim, thus emphasizing his keen interest in contemporary music.

Another side to his work is his dedication to making classical music accessible for young people. He directs and narrates concerts for children at large-scale venues that hold up to 1500 children and their families. They have proven to be a great success and are increasingly in demand.

Artists with whom Kevin Griffiths has worked include Boris Pergamenschikov, Ricardo Castro, Dmitri Ashkenazy, Ingulf Turban, Peter Bruns, the Dante Quartet and soloists from the Berlin Philharmonic (Stefan Dohr, Wenzel Fuchs, Jonathan Kelly, Markus Weidmann)
