'...a leader in the
new generation of keyboard virtuosi.'
- Cambridge Early Music
Director of Sounds Baroque, Julian
Perkins leads a varied career as a conductor, soloist, and chamber
musician. He has appeared as a soloist and director at London's
Southbank Centre, conducted staged productions for the Buxton
Festival and New Kent Opera, and will be conducting Mozart’s La Finta Giardiniera for the Dutch
National Opera Studio in 2012. He often performs, records, and tours
with many of the UK's leading period instrument ensembles, appearing at
New York's Lincoln Center, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, BBC
Proms, and at international festivals in Antwerp, Barcelona, Edinburgh,
Halle, Madrid, and Paris. Together with his early
experiences as a professional consort singer with groups such as the
Monteverdi Choir, Julian is ideally qualified for his numerous
partnerships with renowned soloists, conductors, and ensembles.
After reading music at King’s College, Cambridge, Julian studied
primarily at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, the Royal Academy of
Music, and with Trevor Pinnock CBE. A recipient of many awards, Julian
was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music in recognition
of his standing in the music profession.
