Stanley Glasser

Stanley Glasser

Stanley Glasser, born 28 February 1926, is a South African-born composer and academic who studied with Matyas Seiber at Cambridge. His concert music is deeply influenced by his ethnomusicological investigations of native african music. Professor Glasser is a fellow of Goldsmiths College, London University, an institution to which he devoted many years, becoming head of the music department in 1969 and rising to the position of Dean of Humanities in the 1980s.

Glasser's visionary interest in all areas of contemporary musical development led to his department being a pioneer in the exploration of electronic music, and the music studio purchased one of the first Fairlight sampling systems to find its way to Britain. The electronic studio is named in honour of Professor Glasser.

The most popular of his compositions have been recorded by the famed Kings Singers.
