John Lanchbery

The British-Australian arranger, ballet composer and conductor John Lanchbery was born in London on 15 May 1923. He studied composition at the Royal Academy of Music and won the Henry Smart scholarship.

His fifty-five year career included work for BBC TV, Sadler's Wells, The Royal Ballet, Australian Ballet and American Ballet Theatre, but he is best known for his successful collaboration with Frederick Ashton on Hérold's La Fille mal gardée.
