Keith Perreur-Lloyd

"I would like to thank the well-known musicians and conductors featured on my web site * www.perreur-lloyd.com * for their comments about my music. Many of those musicians have expressed their keenness to perform the Premiere Solos for Violin, Cello, Viola, Clarinet and both Piano concertos."

"A performance of my 1st Piano Concerto was scheduled for The Contemporary Music Festival in Košice, 2009, but the Festival was cancelled at the last moment. My thanks to Dino Matroyiannis (Pianist) and Július Klein (The Slovak State Philharmonic, Košice ) for their efforts."

A childhood exposed to much classical music, cinema, and the theatre, led to Keith having the idea of being composer since his youth. A life-time of travel and working all over the world -over a thousand recordings for the BBC in London; programmes for the Rhodesian Broadcasting Corporation, the Forces Broadcasting Corporation in Cyprus, Teheran Television, CKGM and Public Radio Canada, and was the Salzburg Festival Announcer in the 60's. He was commissioned by Recorded Books in NY - and later set up his own enterprise to produce dramatisations of classic works, including a biography of Beethoven in which he took the lead role.

Keith retained the musical ideas in his head for over half a century, as he had found the process of writing them down too laborious! At the age of 50, he learned to use Sibelius Software which enabled him to resurrect his original improvisations. He has worked since then between 2 and 6 hours a day, producing one major work (Concerto or Symphony) during each of the past 10 years.

His Music is available on his web site www.perreur-lloyd.com  Get in touch with Keith info@perreur-lloyd.com when you've listened to some of his music !
