Jennifer Bennett
baroque and renaissance violin, viola, viola d'amore and viola
da gamba.
Jennifer is a rare
example of being equally accomplished on many instruments.
Her talent was recognised early on when she was given a
grant to study at the prestigious Purcell School of Music, while winning first prize in a series of competitions
in the UK.
Highlights from those years include touring as a soloist with the West Sussex Orchestra playing the
Bruch violin concerto in Prague and Germany, and performing Malcolm Arnold's double violin concerto in the presence
of the composer at the Royal Academy of Music Concert Hall, as well as appearing on BBC radio 3 with her string quartet.
During her first year at the Guildhall School of Music in London she decided to specialize in Early Music which led to studies
at the Royal Conservatory of Music in the Hague with Pavlo Beznosiuk.
Jennifer has toured all over the world with the
UK's leading baroque orchestras such as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the Gabrieli Consort, the Academy of
Ancient Music and the New London Consort among others and is now devoting her time and passion to her ensemble, the Amphion
Consort.
