James Dillon
James Dillon (b. 1950) has been published by Edition Peters since 1982. In that year, Parjanya-Vata for solo cello won the Kranichsteiner Musikpreis at the Darmstadt Summer Course for New Music. His String Quartet No. 1 was premiered by the Arditti Quartet the following year at the Huddersfeld Contemporary Music Festival – one of many festivals regularly featuring Dillon’s music. Other works include his ‘German Triptych’ (Überschreiten, 1985; helle Nacht, 1987; Blitzschlag, 1996) and the opera Philomela (2004). In 2003 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Huddersfeld and in 2007 took up the position of Professor of Composition at the University of Minnesota.

Im gleichen Jahr wurde Parjanya-Vata für Violoncello solo bei den Darmstädter Ferienkursen für Neue Musik mit dem Kranichsteiner Musikpreis ausgezeichnet. Das Arditti- Quartett brachte im Folgejahr Dillons Streichquartett Nr. 1 beim Huddersfeld-Festival für Zeitgenössische Musik zur Uraufführung – nur eines von vielen Festivals, bei denen seine Musik regelmäßig erklingt. Zu weiteren Werken gehören das „German Triptych“ (Überschreiten, 1985; helle Nacht, 1987; Blitzschlag, 1996) sowie die Oper Philomela (2004). Im Jahr 2003 erhielt er die Ehrendoktorwürde der Universität Huddersfeld, und 2007 übernahm er eine Professur für Komposition an der University of Minnesota.
