Peter Eötvös is one of those who set the tone in the New Music scene, not just as a composer but also as a conductor and teacher.

Born in Hungary, he studied at the Academy of Music in Budapest and the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne; between 1968 and 1976 he performed regularly with the Stockhausen Ensemble. From 1971 to 1979 he worked at the Studio für elektronische Musik des Westdeutschen Rundfunks. Another crucial event for his further musical career was meeting Pierre Boulez, who appointed him musical director of the Ensemble Intercontemporain in 1978, an office that Peter Eötvös held for thirteen years.

In 1991 he founded his own institution, the International Eötvös Institute, where young conductors and composers prepare for their future tasks in the concert world. He has also taught the rising generation of artists as professor at the Hochschule für Musik in Karlsruhe [1992–1998, 2002–2003] and at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne [1998–2001]. Eötvös is also a frequent guest conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Budapest Festival Orchestra, and the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Hungary, as well as at the great international opera houses. Since 1994 he has headed the Radio Filharmonisch Orkest in Hilversum.

His works as composer include "Chinese Opera" [1986], "Psychokosmos" [1993], "Atlantis" [1995], "Shadows" [1996], "Two Monologues" [1998], "Replica" [1998], "zeroPoints" [1999] and the operas "Le balcon" [2001] and "Three Sisters" [1996–1997]. For the latter Eötvös received the Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award in 2002.
