Granville Bantock

British composer and conductor Granville Bantock was born in London on 7 August 1868. He studied with Gordon Saunders at Trinity College of Music and with Frederick Corder at the Royal Academy of Music. He became a champion of other composers' music, including Jean Sibelius, Joseph Holbrooke, Edward German, Hubert Parry, Charles Stanford and his friend Havergal Brian.

He conducted concerts, sometimes dedicating a whole concert to the music of one composer, and he founded the short-lived music magazine the New Quarterly Music Review.

He died in London, on 16 October 1946.
