Composer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Dillon<\/strong>, born in Glasgow in 1950, studied music, acoustics and linguistics in London. He is a self-taught composer. In the early 1970s, he studied Indian music with Punita Gupta. In the 1980s and early 1990s, Dillon was repeatedly invited to Darmstadt to present new works. In 1982, he received the Kranichstein Music Prize, and in 1986 he was a guest lecturer at the State University of New York in Stony Brook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His first string quartet was premiered by the Arditti Quartet at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in 1983. Since then, the Arditti Quartet has remained closely associated with the composer. All of Dillon's subsequent quartets have been premiered by the Arditti Quartet and included in their concert repertoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Dillon has been a visiting lecturer at many universities worldwide and was awarded the title of Distinguished International Visitor by New York University (2001\u201302). In 2003, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Huddersfield. He currently lives in London and Minneapolis and is Professor of Composition at the University of Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
