Peter Maxwell Davies Research Network (PMDRN) — 8 October 2021

About the talk

I was invited by the PMDRN to give a talk for their online forum about my recollections of studying and working with Max, his influence on my work as a composer and our enduring friendship over many decades.

The forum has 2 guests: Ian Ritchie and me, and is moderated by Richard McGregor. My contribution begins about 44 minutes into the forum and is followed by members asking questions about my talk.
