Richard Peter Maddox

Richard Maddox webBorn in Samoa, Peter grew up in Sydney and Bathurst (NSW). After working in Sydney as an accountant for a number of years he decided to study music seriously. He holds a B.Mus. from the University of London, a M.A. in Music from the University of Sydney, and a Ph.D. in Music from the University of California, Los Angeles.


Since retiring from the University of New England (Armidale, NSW) in 1991 he has concentrated on composing and performing, especially accompanying and conducting (the Armidale Symphony Orchestra, Fiori Musicali and the Armidale Choral Society). Most of his works are written for friends and colleagues and have received performances in Armidale and elsewhere.
