JOHN RUTTER

John Rutter Milford (nacido 24 de septiembre de 1945 y comandante del Imperio Británico) es un compositor británico, director de coro, director, arreglista y productor.

Nacido en Londres, fue educado en la Highgate School. En 1981 fundó su propio coro, el "Cambridge Singers", con quienes presenta muy variado repertorio sacro que los ha de caracterizar (incluida su propia obra), y tiene varias grabaciones, en particular bajo su propia etiqueta: Collegium Records. Vive cerca de Cambridge, pero con frecuencia dirige otros coros y orquestas de todo el mundo.
En 1980 se le hizo un becario de honor de Westminster Choir College, Princeton, y en 1988 miembro del Gremio de Músicos de Iglesia. En 1996 el Arzobispo de Canterbury le confirió un Doctorado de Música, en reconocimiento de su contribución a la música sacra.
