Marriner, Sir Neville

Marriner, Sir Neville

▪ British musician
born April 15, 1924, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, Eng.

      British violinist, teacher, and conductor who in 1959 organized the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, a London chamber ensemble that won popular and critical acclaim.

      Marriner graduated from the Royal College of Music in London in 1944 and went on to study for five years with René Benedetti at the Paris Conservatory. He taught violin at the Royal College of Music from 1949 to 1959. During his early career as a violinist he played with a number of small ensembles, including the Jacobean Ensemble, where he played with the early-music specialist Thurston Dart (Dart, Thurston). Marriner also played in the London Philharmonia from 1952 to 1956 and the London Symphony Orchestra from 1956 to 1968.

      Encouraged by Pierre Monteux (Monteux, Pierre), Marriner began to conduct, specializing in Baroque music. After 10 successful years spent organizing, building, and recording extensively with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, he went on to direct and conduct major symphony orchestras throughout the world, including the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (1969–77), the Minnesota Symphony (1979–86), and the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra in Germany (1983–89). He also served as guest conductor for a number of ensembles, including the Dresden Staatskapelle and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra. In the late 1970s Marriner expanded his repertoire to include opera, in particular the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus) and Gioachino Rossini (Rossini, Gioachino). Into his 80s he continued to travel with the Academy and to conduct major orchestras around the world.

      Marriner won one of his several Grammy Awards in 1984 for the sound track to Amadeus, a film for which he was music supervisor and conductor. In 1985 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.
