Composer / Conductor of Jazz and Pop
A.k.a. Peggy Stuart Coolidge
Peggy Stuart Coolidge (19 July 1913 – 7 May 1981) was an American composer and conductor. She was one of the first female American composers to have a recording devoted to her symphonic works, and the first American composer (male or female) to have a concert devoted entirely to her works presented in the Soviet Union. Although she does not quote particular melodies, her compositional style is influenced by American folk idiom; and also by composers such as Charles Ives, Aaron Copland and George Gershwin. In 1952 she married Joseph R. Coolidge, a freelance writer from Boston.
