About the performers

‘Staggering virtuosity and extraordinary technique’ wrote BBC Music Magazine about 20-year-old Dutch recorder player Lucie Horsch, who is currently making a lightning career at home and abroad. The former winner of the Princess Christina Competition (2012) performs as a soloist with baroque ensembles and modern orchestras. She received the Edison Classical Award in 2017 for her first CD of music by Vivaldi. A second recording with works by Bach, Sammartini and Couperin rose to the very top of the UK classical charts, and received an OPUS KLASSIK award.

Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya graduated from the Department of Historical and Modern Art Performance at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory from the class of Professor Olga Martynova in 2009, where she studied piano, harpsichord and fortepiano. Alexandra continued her studies at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, gaining a Master’s degree under the tutelage of Richard Egarr and Menno van Delft. Her love for chamber music and solo performing has brought her to perform in premier venues and festivals all over Europe, Russia and Asia. She has appeared at the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, as well as the Utrecht Early Music Festival. She works regularly with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta, the Residentie Orkest in The Hague, the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, and the Academy of Ancient music.
