Bushra El-Turk (born 1982 in London, UK) is a British composer and contemporary music educator of Lebanese parents.

In 2018, she had her BBC Proms debut with a work performed by the soprano Carly Owen of National Opera Studio and Babylon Orchestra of Berlin.

[3] Composed for the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Simon Rattle, El-Turk’s composition Tuqus had its world premiere in June 2019, including students from the Guildhall School of Music and 55 young musicians from East London, who were taking part in LSO's On Track free concert on Trafalgar Square.

"[8] Writing for The Observer's classical music reviews, Fiona Maddox said about the 2023 performance at the Royal Opera's Linbury Theatre in London:[19] El-Turk’s music, striking and distinctive, conducted by Kanako Abe and played by Ensemble Zar, drives the emotional energy, shedding light and shade on the text’s bleakness.

The whispers, crunches and urgent rhythms were part written, part improvised, for instruments including cello, accordion, Korean transverse flute, Iranian bowed kamancha and more.In Gramophone magazine's Opera Now newsletter, Owen Mortimer wrote:[20] El-Turk specialises in integrating music from diverse cultural traditions, often with surprising results.

[...] This unique palette allows for some fascinating sonic combinations that run the gamut from slowly shifting cluster harmonies to passages of beguiling rhythmic complexity.2016 Tmesis, François-Xavier Roth / London Symphony Orchestra[22] 2020 Tik Tak, on Fadia Tomb El-Hage's album Masarat 2023 Mendelssohn / Tailleferre / Canat de Chizy / Clyne / El-Turk / Holmès / Pépin, Orchestra Pasdeloup[23]
