Occupation: Music Research student and freelance violinist Qualifications: M.Phil., B.Mus.(Hons.), L.Mus.A., A.Mus.A. Profile: Born in Adelaide, David Irving was raised on Queensland’s Gold Coast. He studied violin and musicology at the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, where he was awarded both the Conservatorium and University Medals, and subsequently completed a Master of Philosophy degree in historical musicology at the University of Queensland. He is currently writing up his PhD dissertation, 'Colonial musical culture in early modern Manila' (supervised by Dr Tess Knighton), at Clare College, University of Cambridge, which he will submit in 2007. He has recently been elected to a Junior Research Fellowship at Christ's College, Cambridge, a post he will take up in October 2007. As a musicologist he has published widely on the role of music in intercultural exchange during the early modern period. His articles have appeared in journals including Early Music, Eighteenth-Century Music, and Anuario Musical; a number of book chapters have also appeared in various essay collections, the most recent being 'Historical and literary vestiges of the villancico in the early modern Philippines', in the volume Devotional Music in the Iberian World (Ashgate, 2007). His areas of research are based on music of the early modern period, which he treats from the perspective of cultural history, within a global context. Current projects relate to music in intercultural contact and transculturation; French Enlightenment philosophy and music; imperialism and music; music in Hispanic- and Lusitanian-influenced cultures of East Asia and Southeast Asia; contexts for global organological connections; developing historical approaches to ethnomusicology; language and music; criticism of musical references in early modern ethnography and travel writing (both European and extra-European); and tropes of Orientalism in European music. David took up baroque violin at the age of 16 and studied with leading pedagogues in Australia, including Lucinda Moon and Alice Evans; he joined the ranks of the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra in 2001. Since being based in the UK, he has taken lessons from Pavlo Beznosiuk, Margaret Faultless and Catherine Mackintosh, and has worked with period-instrument ensembles including The Hanover Band, La Serenissima, The Gabrieli Consort & Players, The Early Opera Company, St. James's Baroque Players, and La Compañía Musical (Spain).

Occupation: Deputy Head, Graduate School, Royal College of Music Qualifications: B.Mus.Hons.,Dip.Ed., Ph.D., L.T.C.L., L.Mus.A. Profile: Born in Newcastle, I studied clarinet at the Conservatorium. I began undergraduate music studies at the University of New England Armidale, later transferring to Sydney University. After graduating I worked in Sydney's western suburbs as a high school music teacher, before moving to the U.K in 1995 to undertake postgraduate study. My Ph.D. in performance practice, entitled 'Clarinet Embouchure in Theory and Practice: the Forgotten Art of Reed-Above', was completed at the University of Sheffield. This study combined practical, organological, iconographical, analytical and documentary approaches with a significant practical component. Since moving to the U.K. I have established a significant profile as a performer of the early clarinet. Solo and chamber recitals include performances on chalumeau, Baroque, Classical and nineteenth-century clarinets, and Classical basset horn. Orchestral appearances include the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, The Gabrieli Consort and Players, The English Concert, The Hanover Band, The English Haydn Orchestra and The Band of Instruments; including appearances at the Wigmore Hall, the BBC Proms and the Glyndebourne Festival. During 2001, as part of an Edison Fellowship from The National Sound Archive, I began a study of the development of wind performing practices in recordings. Current publications include chapters in monographs for Cambridge University Press, as well as articles for the journals Music in Art, Tibia and The Clarinet. Conference papers include presentations for the Royal Musical Association, The Society for Music Analysis and The International Clarinet Association. Current research encompasses the methodology and philosophy of Historical Performance Practice, with particular emphasis on woodwind techniques and associated repertoire from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries in aural and documentary sources. Future plans include editing several volumes of German and Italian clarinet didactic materials from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; a monograph based on my doctoral thesis; editions of previously unpublished eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century music for clarinet and chalumeau as well as several recording projects.

Website: http://www.gu.edu.au/school/qcgu/ Occupation: Director, Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University Qualifications: Doctor of Musical Arts - University of Cincinnati, USA Master of Music - University of Adelaide Bachelor of Music (Hons) - University of Queensland Profile: Peter Roennfeldt is a versatile and accomplished musician based in Brisbane Australia. He maintains a strong profile as a pianist, continuo player and choral director. Early music performances include concerts with the Badinerie Players as continuo player and keyboard soloist, radio broadcasts and guest appearances for various organisations and festivals. In recent years Prof. Roennfeldt's major focus as choral director has been with baroque repertoire, which he has performed extensively with the semi-professional chamber vocal ensemble Cantilena Singers during the 1990s, and the Conservatorium's Early Music Vocal Ensemble which he formed in 1998. With these ensembles he has directed many of the major choral works of the 17th and 18th centuries by Monteverdi, Purcell, Buxtehude, JS Bach, Handel as well as operas by Purcell, Charpentier and Handel, and madrigals, cantatas and sacred works from various national traditions. In recent years his keyboard interests have extended to fortepiano solo and chamber works by the Viennese classicists and their contemporaries. Roennfeldt’s research interests include the editing of baroque vocal music from original sources, in particular French composers such as Charpentier (‘Les Plaisirs de Versailles’ and ‘Les Arts Florissants’ and Lalande ‘Les Fontaines de Versailles’). As a conservatorium director and university academic, Roennfeldt endeavours to build a collaborative learning environment for students in which they work alongside professional mentors. Thus emerging artists are exposed to less frequently heard repertoire performed in novel circumstances. In this context, he has presented numerous events in which visual imagery, narration, theatrical gesture, and limited staging enhance the impact of the performances. As a leading contributor to the Early Music Program at Queensland Conservatorium, Roennfeldt has been involved in building up a significant resource of period instruments. The institution currently boasts a collection of more than 50 instruments, ranging from consorts of recorders, crumhorns and sackbuts to 18th century style brass, wind and string instruments. The keyboard area is supported by two harpsichords, a clavichord, a Walther style fortepiano, and an original Broadwood square piano dating from the 1840s, and a two manual tracker action pipe organ by Collins. In addition, Prof. Roennfeldt owns a chamber organ which was built on commissioned by the local builder Simon Pierce, the portability of which has enhanced numerous early music performances in diverse venues within the Brisbane area.
