THE LIVING COMPOSERS PROJECT  

Colin Matthews

(b. 13 February 1946, London).

British composer of mostly orchestral, chamber, choral, and vocal works that have been performed throughout the world; he is also active as a producer and scholar.

Mr. Matthews initially studied classics at the University of Nottingham, where he earned his BA in 1966, then studied composition there with Nicholas Maw and Arnold Whittall and received his MPhil in 1970. He earned his doctorate at the University of Sussex for his work on Gustav Mahler in 1978. He later received an honorary doctorate from the University of Nottingham in 1998.

Among his honours are the Ian Whyte Award from the Royal Scottish National Orchestra (1975, for Fourth Sonata) and the Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award for Large-Scale Composition (1996, for Renewal). He was later made an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Music in London (2010) and named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (2011).

As a producer, he founded the label for contemporary music NMC Recordings in London in 1988 and has served as its executive producer since 1988. He has produced recordings for BMG/RCA, Bridge Records, Collins Classics, Conifer, Continuum Records, Deutsche Grammophon, Metronome Records, Nonesuch Records, and Virgin Classics.

As a scholar, he and his brother David Matthews collaborated with Deryck Cooke and Berthold Goldschmidt on revisions to the performing version of the Symphonie Nr. 10 in Fis-moll by Gustav Mahler from 1964–74. He later wrote the monograph Mahler at Work: Aspects of the Creative Process (1989, Garland Publishing) and the article The Tenth Symphony for The Mahler Companion (1999, edited by Donald Mitchell and Andrew Nicholson, Oxford University Press).

He is also active in other positions. He worked with Benjamin Britten, Baron Britten of Aldeburgh at the Aldeburgh Festival from 1971–76 and with Imogen Holst there from 1972–84, served as a council member of the Aldeburgh Foundation from 1983–94 and served as co-director with Oliver Knussen of the Contemporary Composition and Performance Course at the Aldeburgh Festival. In addition, he has been an administrator of the Holst Foundation, chair of the Britten Estate, trustee of the Britten-Pears Foundation, and a longtime member of the council of the Society for the Promotion of New Music in London. He served as director of the Performing Right Society from 1992–95, as associate composer to the London Symphony Orchestra from 1992–99 and as composer-in-association to the Hallé Orchestra in Manchester from 2001–10.

He taught at the University of Sussex in 1972–73 and 1976–77. He was later a visiting composer and teacher at the Tanglewood Music Festival in Massachusetts in 1991 and the Prince Consort Professor of Music at the Royal College of Music in London. He served as a governor of the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester from 2001–08 and was the Distinguished Visiting Fellow in Composition at the University of Manchester.

His publisher is Faber Music.
