==Early life and education==
Davies was born in Salford, Lancashire, the son of Thomas and Hilda Davies.〔"(Sir Peter Maxwell Davies CBE )", ''Manchester's Theatrical & Musical Celebrities: Papillon Graphics Virtual Encyclopedia of Greater Manchester'' (Accessed 9 April 2010).〕 At age four, after being taken to a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's ''The Gondoliers'', he told his parents that he was going to be a composer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''BBC Radio 3 Live in Concert'' )〕 He took piano lessons and composed from an early age. As a 14-year-old, he submitted a composition called ''Blue Ice'' to the radio programme ''Children's Hour'' in Manchester. BBC producer Trevor Hill showed it to resident singer and entertainer Violet Carson, who said, "He's either quite brilliant or mad". Conductor Charles Groves nodded his approval and said, "I'd get him in". Davies's rise to fame began under the careful mentorship of Hill, who made him the programme's resident composer and introduced him to various professional musicians both in the UK and Germany.〔The story is detailed in Trevor Hill's autobiography, ''Over the Airwaves,'' published by Book Guild in 2005.〕 After attending Leigh Boys Grammar School, Davies studied at the University of Manchester and at the Royal Manchester College of Music (amalgamated into the Royal Northern College of Music in 1973), where his fellow students included Harrison Birtwistle, Alexander Goehr, Elgar Howarth and John Ogdon. Together they formed New Music Manchester, a group committed to contemporary music. After graduating in 1956, he studied on an Italian government scholarship for a year with Goffredo Petrassi in Rome.
In 1959, Davies became Director of Music at Cirencester Grammar School.〔John Warnaby, "Davies, Peter Maxwell", ''The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'', second edition, edited by Stanley Sadie and John Tyrrell (London: Macmillan Publishers, 2001).〕 He left in 1962 after securing a Harkness Fellowship at Princeton University (with the help of Aaron Copland and Benjamin Britten);〔(profile ). ''The Guardian''. Retrieved on 5 August 2011.〕 there he studied with Roger Sessions, Milton Babbitt and Earl Kim. He then moved to Australia, where he was Composer in Residence at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, University of Adelaide from 1965–66.
