After her acclaimed 2006 Sydney performance with the Dutch maestro, Wieland Kuijken, Professor Eva Legêne returns to Sydney. The Sydney Consort is thrilled by the opportunity to perform with this internationally renowned musician. Professor Legêne’s irresistibly eloquent appearances around the world are based on her thorough historical research into early music practice.
Don’t miss what promises to be a memorable event in Sydney’s 2008 musical calendar!
Dutch-born Professor Eva Legêne is a recorder virtuoso and music educator.
She has been a faculty member of the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam and the Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen, and she has served as the director of the North American Recorder Conference at Indiana University. She has also conducted master classes throughout Europe and the United States.
Professor performs extensively as a soloist and in collaboration with Frans Brüggen, Wieland and Bart Kuijken, John Gibbons, and the Rosenborg Trio.
Of particular interest to recorder players are Professor Legêne’s researches in 1980, which led to discovery of the ‘Rosenborg recorders’ (two valuable 17th Century narwhal tusk recorders) in Rosenborg Castle, Copenhagen.
Ms. Legêne’s recordings can be found on the telefunken label, the Brüggen Consort label, and as soloist on the Denon label.
