Performer Information

Few ensembles in classical music have left as indelible a mark on Baroque and Classical performance as The English Concert. Founded in London in 1972 by harpsichordist and conductor Trevor Pinnock, the period-instrument orchestra quickly became a standard-bearer for historically informed performance. Today, fans seek The English Concert tickets to experience the clarity, vitality, and authenticity that define their sound.

Across five decades, The English Concert has built a global reputation for excellence, influencing generations of musicians and audiences. Their historically informed approach on period instruments—led by visionary directors—has cemented their place among the world’s leading early music ensembles, with multi-generational appeal and regular appearances at major venues and festivals.

Current Band Members

• Harry Bicket — Artistic Director, Conductor, Harpsichord

Internationally renowned for his Baroque and Classical interpretations, Harry Bicket has led The English Concert since 2007. A celebrated conductor and harpsichordist, he regularly appears with top opera houses and orchestras worldwide, guiding the ensemble’s crisp articulation, stylish phrasing, and expressive nuance.

• Trevor Pinnock — Conductor Emeritus, Harpsichord

Founder and original leader of The English Concert from 1972 to 2003, Trevor Pinnock helped define the modern era of historically informed performance. As Conductor Emeritus, his legacy shapes the ensemble’s identity—precision, transparency, and a deep connection to the music’s original spirit.

• Orchestra Members — Strings, Winds, Brass, Continuo

The English Concert features a roster of leading period-instrument specialists from across the UK and Europe. Membership is project-based and tailored to repertoire, ensuring the ideal forces for Handel, Bach, Vivaldi, and beyond, all performed with stylistic polish and dynamic ensemble playing.

The ensemble’s recorded legacy is a cornerstone for Baroque and Classical listeners. Landmark albums include Handel: Water Music & Music for the Royal Fireworks (1978), Bach: Brandenburg Concertos (1979), Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (1982), and Handel: Messiah (1988). Under Harry Bicket, releases like Handel: Ariodante (2007) and Bach: St Matthew Passion (2021) have drawn acclaim for their eloquence and authenticity.

In concert, The English Concert shines with elegant, historically informed staging that puts the music first. You’ll see and hear period instruments up close, feel the rhythmic drive in lively allegros, and experience the intimacy of continuo-led textures—often with the conductor directing from the harpsichord. It’s a revealing, energetic live experience that brings Baroque and Classical masterworks into sharp, modern focus.
