John Carewe (born 24 January 1933) is a British conductor. Very early in his student career at the Guildhall School of Music, Carewe gave up his original intention of being a composer and turned to conducting. His teachers, nevertheless, were all composers: Walter Goehr and Max Deutsch (both Schoenberg pupils), Messiaen (with whom he studied in Paris on a French Government scholarship) and Pierre Boulez.[1][2] In 1958 he founded the New Music Ensemble and gave many British premieres of music by composers including Birtwistle,[3]Boulez,[4]Bennett,[5]Maxwell Davies,[6] and appeared at most of the major British festivals, including the BBC Proms.[1][7] He was one of the three conductors in the first British performance of Stockhausen’s Gruppen, given in Glasgow in 1960.[8][9]
In 1966 Carewe was invited by Sir William Glock to become the Principal Conductor of the BBC Welsh Orchestra.[1] From 1974 to 1986 Carewe was music director of the Brighton Philharmonic Society, and was Principal Conductor of The Fires of London between 1980 and 1984.[10][11]
In 1993 Carewe accepted an appointment as General Music Director of the Chemnitz Opera, and the Robert-Schumann-Philharmonic.[14]
Carewe is also a teacher, and his pupils include Sir Simon Rattle.[15] He frequently worked with the Bundes Jugend Orchester[16] and taught conducting at both the Royal Academy of Music[17] and the Royal College of Music in London. He has served on the jury of the Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition.[18]
Among Carewe's recordings are Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande (recorded in 1988 after performances at Nice Opera),[19] and Milhaud's La Création du Monde and Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale (recorded with a chamber ensemble from the London Symphony Orchestra).[20]
Carewe has two daughters: Mary, a vocalist and Anna, a celloist.[21]
