David Carl Taylor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Carl Taylor (16 November 1909 – 25 November 1941) was a South African violinist who performed with the Stratton Quartet in the 1930s. A graduate and later professor of the Royal Academy of Music in London, he remained active in chamber music until his death while serving in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War.
Taylor was born in Johannesburg in 1910. His musical ability earned him an overseas scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he subsequently joined the teaching staff. During this period, he became increasingly involved in chamber performance and developed a growing presence in London's musical community.[1]
