标题: 2018.10.07 作曲家西娅-马斯格雷夫
Composer Thea Musgrave celebrated her 90th birthday this year, an event marked by celebrations and concerts around the world, including the BBC Proms and the Edinburgh International Festival. She has published more than 150 compositions, including major orchestral works and numerous operas, and continues to write every day.

Thea was born in Edinburgh in May 1928, and still has sharp memories of hearing news of the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940. She learned the piano as a child, but had ambitions to become a doctor. She began medical studies at the University of Edinburgh, but after struggling with the sciences, she switched to the music department, which happened to be in an adjacent building. In the early 1950s, she spent four years studying composition with Nadia Boulanger in Paris before moving to London and establishing herself as a prominent member of British musical life.

In 1970 she became Guest Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 1971 she married the American opera conductor Peter Mark, and she has lived in the United States since 1972.

She was awarded a CBE in 2002, and earlier this year she was presented with The Queen's Medal for Music.



作曲家西娅-马斯格雷夫今年庆祝了她的90岁生日,在世界各地举行了庆祝活动和音乐会,包括BBC Proms和爱丁堡国际节。她已经出版了150多部作品,包括主要的管弦乐作品和许多歌剧,并且每天都在继续创作。

西娅于1928年5月出生于爱丁堡,她对1940年听到敦刻尔克大撤退的消息仍有深刻的记忆。她从小学习钢琴,但有志于成为一名医生。她开始在爱丁堡大学学习医学,但在与科学的斗争中,她转到了音乐系,而音乐系恰好在相邻的一栋楼里。20世纪50年代初,她花了四年时间在巴黎跟随纳迪亚-布兰格学习作曲,然后搬到伦敦,并将自己确立为英国音乐生活中的一个重要成员。

1970年,她成为加利福尼亚大学圣巴巴拉分校的客座教授。1971年,她与美国歌剧指挥家彼得-马克结婚,自1972年起她一直居住在美国。

2002年,她被授予CBE勋章,今年早些时候,她被授予女王音乐勋章。
