General | | Biography: | Trevor Pinnock is known worldwide as harpsichordist, conductor and chamber musician. A pioneer in the performance of baroque and classical music on period instruments, he founded the English Concert in 1972 directing it until 2003 when he passed on this role to the violinist Andrew Manze.
Pinnock celebrates Mozart’s birthday in 2006 with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and pianist Maria João Pires. Mozart also features in a programme with Abbado’s newly founded Orchestra Mozart Bologna and in concerts at the Salzburg and Feldkirch festivals.
Further projects with period instruments include Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas at the Handel Festival Halle and a Haydn/Handel programme at the Haydn Festival Eisenstadt. During the 2006/2007 season Pinnock marks his 60th birthday with tours and recording of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos. For this project he has formed the European Brandenburg Ensemble with musicians from England, Italy and Germany.
