Peter Cropper (19 November 1945 – 29 May 2015) was a British violinist, leader of the Lindsay String Quartet, and founding artistic director of Music in the Round, a charitable organisation he founded in the 1980s to promote chamber music concerts.
His father Alfred Cropper was a chartered accountant and his mother was Edith Kathleen (Kate), née Hale.
[1] He was married at Thornham Parva, Suffolk, on 19 December 1972 to violinist Nina Esmé Martin.
[1] The Lindsays formed the core of Music in the Round's activity for over twenty years, until their retirement in 2005.
