Will Serious Music Become Extinct?

SIR PETER MAXWELL DAVIES

Sir Peter Maxwell Davies was born in Salford, Greater Manchester, and was appointed Master of the Queen’s Music in 2004, which widened the scope of the international reputation he had already enjoyed for at least three decades. He studied in Manchester and Rome and was then music master at Cirencester Grammar School (1959–62). With Harrison Birtwistle he founded the Pierrot Players, later the Fires of London, in 1967. He moved to the Orkney Islands in 1971; ten years later he was made CBE, and he was knighted in 1987.
