About George Dyson Composer

  • Sir George Dyson KCVO (28 May 1883 – 28 September 1964) was an English musician and composer.
  • After studying at the Royal College of Music (RCM) in London, and army service in the First World War, he was a schoolmaster and college lecturer.
  • In 1938 he became director of the RCM, the first of its alumni to do so.
