We are happy to announce that Sophie Gent will join our Early Music staff as of September 1st of this year. Sophie Gent is a leading player in the young generation of Baroque violinists. She performs as concertmistress of ensembles such as Pygmalion and Capriccio Stravagante, and is also the principle violin of the chamber music ensemble Masques.
Although the official deadline for applications to the Conservatorium van Amsterdam has passed, we have made an exception in the case of Ms. Gent, due to her recent appointment to teach at our school: we therefore still welcome applications for Baroque violin for the 2011-2012 school year.
