Peter Cropper

Died: 29th May 2015, Sheffield
Nationality: British
Founder-member and leader of the world-renowned Lindsay Quartet. Born in Southport in 1945 into a family of professional string-players, his education was musical from the outset with a music scholarship to Uppingham School followed by the Royal Academy of Music, where in 1965 (together with Ronald Birks, Roger Bigley, and Bernard Gregor-Smith) he founded what would go on to become one of the foremost chamber ensembles of the late twentieth century. The Lindsay Quartet was indeed initially named after Cropper himself, with the subsequent name-change reflecting a relationship with Keele University (founded by one Lord Alexander Lindsay).
