Information trouvée : ROBERT KING is widely acclaimed as one of the leading British conductors of his generation, dividing his time equally between a busy international conducting career and work with the period instrument orchestra and choir, The King's Consort. Born in 1960 he was a chorister with the world-famous Choir of St John's College, Cambridge, where his solo performances included a best-selling recording of Duruflé's Requiem. Whilst at Cambridge University in 1980 he founded The King's Consort, Robert King is Artistic Director of Sweden's Nordic Baroque Music Festival and Artistic Director of the ION Festival in Nürnberg. King is widely regarded as a leading expert on the music of Henry Purcell. Alongside extensive recording editions of the composer's music he was Artistic Director of Wigmore Hall's Purcell Tercentenary Festival and the author of 'the definitive biography' of the composer. He is a frequent broadcaster for the BBC, writing and presenting diverse programmes: in the world of commercial music his harpsichord playing can be heard in the recent hit film
