Historical Performance Practice

This area of research is concerned with the technical aspects of playing Early Music: from its historical context to the source material right up to its interpretation and performance.

A critical approach to sources and careful examination of interpretive approaches are essential to the performance of Early Music. Our research deals with subjects and issues related to historically-informed musical practice, develops the requisite groundwork and shares this with musicians. Our findings are used in teaching, concert performances and CD recordings.
