More on Andrew Davis
Description from Wikipedia:
Sir Andrew Frank Davis CBE (born 2 February 1944) is a British conductor.
Davis was born in Ashridge in Hertfordshire and studied at the Royal College of Music, King's College, Cambridge where he was Organ Scholar, and in Rome with Franco Ferrara. Previously he attended Watford Boys' Grammar School. He studied classics in his sixth form years. He worked closely with the school orchestra.
The first major post he held was as associate conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, a job he took in 1970. In 1975, he took the job of principal conductor with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. He stepped down in 1988, but has remained close to the orchestra as its Conductor Laureate.
In 1988, Davis became music director at Glyndebourne, where he met the American soprano Gianna Rolandi, whom he later married. Davis returned to the BBC in 1989 to become chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, where he held the post until 2000.
Queen Elizabeth II created Davis a CBE in May 1992. In January 1999, she appointed him a Knight Bachelor in the New Year Honours List. In 2002, he conducted the Prom at the Palace concert, held in the gardens of Buckingham Palace as part of the celebrations for the Queen's Golden Jubilee.
