About Trevor

Principal Conductor: Kioi Hall Chamber Orchestra Tokyo Principal Guest Conductor: RAM Chamber Orchestra Artistic Director: Anima Mundi Festival

Trevor Pinnock is renowned worldwide as a harpsichordist and conductor who pioneered the modern revival of early music performance.

In 1972 he founded the English Concert whose reputation for ground-breaking performances on period instruments led to an extensive contract with Deutsche Grammophon and international tours. In 2023, DG marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of the English Concert by releasing a 100-disc box set of their complete recordings. Pinnock’s many solo recordings include suites by Rameau and Louis Couperin, Bach’s Goldberg Variations and Partitas and The Well-Tempered Clavier. His most recent orchestral recording project was with students from the RAM and Glenn Gould School performing Bach keyboard Partitas in groundbreaking arrangements for chamber orchestra by Thomas Oehler.

In 2003, Pinnock stepped down from the leadership of the English Concert and since that time has divided his work between conducting, solo and chamber music engagements. He has worked regularly with Koniklijk Concertgebouworkest Amsterdam, Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and Mozarteumorchester Salzburg. With the Kioi Hall Chamber Orchestra, he will present Così fan tutti in concert and Bach's Goldberg Variations arranged by Koffler. At the Old Theatre, Vilnius, he conducts a new production by Gintaras Varnas of Acis and Galatea. He returns to National Arts Centre Orchestra, Orquesta Filharmonica de Gran Canaria and The English Concert. He performs chamber music with Emmanuel Pahud and Jonathan Manson, and will continue his educational projects at the Royal Academy of Music, London.

Trevor Pinnock is Artistic Director of the Anima Mundi Festival in Pisa and Principal Conductor of the Kioi Hall Chamber Orchestra, Tokyo and the Royal Academy of Music Chamber Orchestra, London. He was awarded a CBE in 1992.

Trevor is based in London

  • Bach: Partitas

    recording
    Oct 2023
    • Und Trevor Pinnock, mittlerweile 76 Jahre jung, befeuert die exzellenten, mit kanadischen Gästen angereicherten Solisten der Royal Academy zu einer ungemein frischen, tänzerisch beschwingten, quicklebendigen Performance, die swingt und groovt, als weilte Bach, der Urheber, noch unter uns. Hier beginnt das Universum zu tanzen und wir stellen erneut fest: J.S. Bach ist und bleibt der modernste Komponist aller Zeiten.
