Sir Michael Kemp Tippett {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (2 January 1905 – 8 January 1998) was an English composer who rose to prominence during and immediately after the Second World War.  In his lifetime he was sometimes ranked with his contemporary Benjamin Britten as one of the leading British composers of the 20th century.  Among his best-known works are the oratorio "A Child of Our Time", the orchestral "Fantasia Concertante on a Theme of Corelli", and the opera "The Midsummer Marriage". Florence Aylward (10 March 1862 – 14 October 1950) was an English composer known for ballads. Phyllis Tate (6 April 1911 – 29 May 1987) was an English composer known for forming unusual instrumental combinations in her output.  Much of her work was written for the use of amateur performers and children. The London Festival Orchestra (LFO) was established in the 1950s as the 'house orchestra' for Decca Records.  In 1980 it was incorporated as an independent performing orchestra under Ross Pople.

British composer Michael Tippett composed his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra between 1953 and 1955 on a commission from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.  The overall character of the work was influenced by the composer's hearing German pianist Walter Gieseking rehearse Ludwig van Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto in 1950.  Its musical content, while influenced by this concerto, was also shaped largely by Tippett's opera "The Midsummer Marriage", which he had completed in 1952.  While Tippett had conceived the work initially in the mid-1940s, he had been preoccupied in much of the intervening time with "The Midsummer Marriage".

The reception of the opera was controversial, over perceived confusion as to the libretto and Tippett's use of symbols and psychological references.  Nonetheless the opera has received at least ten more productions, including two further productions at the Royal Opera, in England, Wales, Scotland, Germany, Sweden and the United States.
