Param Vir (born 1952) is a British composer originally from India. Born in Delhi into a family life permeated with Indian classical music, Param Vir's strong interest in music developed as a teenager when attending a Roman Catholic secondary school and had informal lessons from composer Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, then resident in India. With no prospects as a composer in India, he read history and philosophy at Delhi University, but returned to music on graduation in 1974 as a teacher.〔 From 1983 Vir studied composition at Dartington with Peter Maxwell Davies and at Guildhall School of Music and Drama with Oliver Knussen.〔〔 His works include ''Horse Tooth White Rock'' (1994) and the operas ''Snatched by the Gods'' and ''Broken Strings'' (a double bill commissioned for the Munich Biennale of 1992), and ''Ion'', given at the Aldeburgh Festival in 2000. He has won, among other prizes, the Tippett Award and the Britten Prize. ==Career highlights== * 1983 - attended Dartington International Summer School on a scholarship. * 1984 - moved to London to study with Oliver Knussen. * 1987 - awarded Benjamin Britten Composition Prize. * 1993 - Pierre Audi production of Broken Strings wins Ernst von Siemens Music Prize for young composers (Munich). * 2003 - first full production of ''Ion'' tours Europe. * 2005 - ''Horse Tooth White Rock'' performed at the BBC Proms. * 2005 - ''Hayagriva'' commissioned and premiered by the Schoenberg Ensemble in Amsterdam * 2006 - ''Between Earth and Sky'', inspired by Anish Kapoor's ''Cloud Gate'', premiered by the BBC Symphony Orchestra in London 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Param Vir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
