ABOUT PETER GRAHAM Peter Graham and Eric Ball, London 1985

Born in Scotland Peter Graham read music at Edinburgh and London Universities (Goldsmiths’ College) and, like Eric Ball, held appointments as a Salvation Army Bandmaster and as an Editor in the SA Music Editorial Department prior to working in education. Described by British Bandsman Magazine as “a spectacularly imaginative and innovative talent”, he has written for all levels of brass band, from educational concert music to the most demanding test-piece and is in the unique position of having had his music performed in every major brass band competition worldwide. His music has won many prizes, and in 2002 he became the first composer outside of the USA to win the American Bandmasters Association/Ostwald Award for Original Composition for Symphonic Winds.
