NOCTURNE ET ALLEGRO SCHERZANDO

Mary Chandler studied music privately with Harry Farjeon for composition and Harold Craxton piano. She went to Oxford University to read English and taught the subject in London Schools from 1934 but, with Leon Goosens as teacher, she took up the oboe from scratch in 1940 and four years later was principal oboe of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, a post she held until 1958, appearing as soloist and as composer of programmed works. In 1960 Mary Chandler was appointed Area Director of the then Kent Music School, in charge of wind teaching and the activities at its Tonbridge Music Centre. She retired to Gloucestershire in 1971 but continued to be actively involved in music - examining, organizing concerts and composing until she died in 1996.
