Description: 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.
Maxwell Davies is also active as a conductor and has recently finished ten years as Conductor/Composer of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, and Composer/Conductor of the BBC Philharmonic in Manchester, he is also the Composer Laureate of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
Sir Peter Maxwell Davies was appointed Master of the Queen's Music in March 2004.
