Trevor Pinnock is known worldwide as a harpsichordist and conductor who pioneered performance on historical instruments with ›The English Concert‹, the orchestra which he founded in 1972 nd led for the next thirty years. He now divides his time between conducting, solo, chamber music and educational projects.

Recent conducting highlights include Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchester, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest.

Trevor brought Purcell’s ›Dido & Aeneas‹ and Theatre Music to the Wigmore Hall where later in the season 2015/16 he will also perform chamber music by Purcell, Corelli and Handel with Sophie Gent, Matthew Truscott and Jonathan Manson. He will also give solo recitals including music by Johann Jakob Froberger and Louis Couperin.

Recordings to be released this season include a solo recital ›Journey – 200 years of harpsichord music‹ as well as the Mozart ›Gran Partita‹ for winds and a Haydn ›Notturno‹ with the Royal Academy of Music Soloists Ensemble. Trevor’s work at the Royal Academy of Music also includes orchestral concerts as Principal Guest Conductor of the Concert Orchestra and opera projects.
