The English Concert is a pioneer in the performance of Baroque and Classical music on authentic instruments. It is now the resident period ensemble at Trinity College of Music in Greenwich, giving period performance practice a central place in undergraduate and graduate studies.
Undergraduate Training
All 1st and 2nd Year undergraduates are introduced to period performance through orchestral training and chamber music coaching led by members of The English Concert. These projects are concerned wtih the adaptation of period instrument style and techniques to modern instrument performance, focussing on core 18th century repertoire.
Period instruments themselves are then introduced in a series of masterclasses for violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe, trumpet, and keyboard.
Tuition on period instruments is available as a follow-up to performance projects and masterclasses.
Advanced Training
Individual lessons on period instruments.
Period instrument chamber music projects are coached by members of The English Concert, focussing particularly on the works of Haydn and Mozart.
Trinity College Baroque Orchestra
As a result of The English Concert's work, the Trinity College Baroque Orchestra is now established, giving its first public concert in 2007.
The English Concert Scholarship
Launched in 2005 the scholarship is awarded by competitive audition to a student ensemble, enabling its members to continue to work together in their first year in the music profession. The scholars receive continued coaching, as well as practical support in all aspects of professional life, including recording a CD, promoting their own concerts and planning and presenting educational projects.
The English Concert's work at Trinity College of Music is generously supported by the Samuel Gardner Memorial Trust.
