Robin Holloway

Robin Greville Holloway, born on 19 October 1943 in Leamington Spa, is an English composer, academic, and writer. He first gained attention as a chorister and then honed his skills in composition under Bayan Northcott. Holloway's works, often described as 'neo-romantic', display his profound connection to 19th and early 20th-century music. His contribution to music extends beyond composition to teaching at the University of Cambridge and insightful music criticism. Holloway retired in 2011, leaving behind a rich legacy that includes teaching prominent composers and a distinctive compositional voice that integrates romanticism with modernism【30†source】【32†source】【33†source】.
