Peter Maxwell Davies (b1934)

Sir Peter Maxwell Davies is generally acknowledged to be one of the foremost composers of our time. He lives in the Orkney Islands off the north coast of Scotland where he writes most of his music, composing in a wide range of forms and in many styles. The power to communicate forcefully and directly with his audiences manifests itself equally in his profoundly argued symphonic works, his delightful music-theatre works written to be performed by children and in his sometimes outrageous witty light orchestral works.

His major theatrical compositions include operas, full-length ballets, and innovative music-theatre works, while his many orchestral works include fourteen concertos, several light orchestral compositions, five large-scale works for chorus, and eight critically acclaimed symphonies.
