柯尼琉斯·卡迪尤 Cornelius Cardew (1936年5月7日)

Cornelius was the second of three sons born to Michael and Mariel Cardew. His father was a potter, his mother an artist. The family moved to Cornwall a few years after his birth and it was from here that he was accepted as a pupil by the Canterbury Cathedral School which had evacuated to the area during the war because of the bombing. Cornelius began musical life as a chorister.
