13Stanford, Charles Villiers, composer and conductor, born at Dublin, September 30, 1852. Son of the late John Stanford, Esq., Examiner in the Court of Chancery, Dublin, and an accomplished amateur. He was educated in music under Arthur O'Leary and Sir R. P. Stewart; and afterwards studied, 1874-76, at Leipzig, with Reinecke, and at Berlin with F. Kiel. Matriculated at Cambridge as a choral scholar, graduating with Classical Honours, B.A., 1874; M.A., 1877. In 1873 he succeeded Dr. J. L. Hopkins as organist of Trinity College, Cambridge, an appointment he held until 1892. He was conductor of the Cambridge Amateur Vocal Guild, and directed the first performance in England of Sir R. P. Stewart's cantata "The Eve of St. John," November 19, 1872. The Cambridge University Musical Society, of which he was conductor for twenty years from 1873, attained a high position, many important compositions being heard at its concerts for the first time in England, such as Schumann's "Paradise and the Peri," the First Symphony of Brahms, etc. It was at a concert of this society that Mr. Stanford first appeared as a pianist, November 30, 1870. A few compositions date from the Cambridge period to 1875, but he came into greater prominence by winning the second prize at the symphony competition at the Alexandra Palace, 1876. From that time to the present he has been actively engaged in composition. At the opening of the R.C.M., in 1883, he was appointed professor of composition and orchestral playing, and has given distinction to the College concerts and operatic performances by his enterprise in bringing forward new or neglected works. In 1885 he became conductor of the Bach Choir; and in 1887 was appointed Professor of Music at Cambridge University. He is a member of the Philharmonic Society; in 1883 received the Hon. degree of Mus. Doc., Oxford; in 1888, by Grace of the Senate, the same degree was conferred upon him at Cambridge; and in 1892 was elected Corresponding Member of the Société des Compositeurs de Musique, Paris. He has conducted concerts at the Crystal Palace (1883), Philharmonic Society (1884, etc.); at Berlin, Dresden, etc.; performances of his works at the chief provincial festivals, and of his operas at Hanover and Hamburg. In June, 1897, he was appointed Conductor of the Leeds Philharmonic Society.
