TOM FOSTER
‘Handel’s Influencers’
A lively overview of German keyboard music by composers, some of whom Handel knew personally, and others whose music he was well acquainted with. Pieces by Froberger, Zachow, Mattheson, Gottlieb Muffat and Handel himself.

Tom is the principal keyboard player of the English Concert and is a regular guest with The Academy of Ancient Music, Arcangelo, The Dunedin Consort, Early Opera Company, The Mahler Chamber Orchestra, The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, The Scottish Ensemble and The Sixteen. These collaborations have taken him to concert halls throughout Europe, the United States, Australia, Russia and South Korea. He has performed concertos at the Edinburgh International Festival and made his US solo-debut in recital at the Carnegie Hall this year. Tom began his musical education as a chorister at Manchester Cathedral, then as a pianist and harpsichordist at Chetham’s School of Music. He holds a first-class degree in Music (BA) from St. Catherine’s College, Oxford and gained a Distinction in Performance (MA) from the Royal Academy of Music under the tutelage of Trevor Pinnock.
