Anthony Rooley
Anthony Rooley is a British lutenist, conductor, and scholar celebrated for his lifelong dedication to early music, particularly Renaissance and Baroque repertoire. As the founder of the renowned ensemble The Consort of Musicke in 1969, he’s spent decades reviving and reimagining works by composers like John Dowland, Cipriano de Rore, and lesser-known figures such as Walter Porter or Robert Lucas Pearsall. His recordings, including recent projects like *Musica transalpina* and *Elegies: Seven Sighs*, showcase his knack for unearthing forgotten gems and bridging musical traditions across Europe, from Italian madrigals to English consort music. Rooley’s approach blends scholarly rigor with expressive warmth, whether directing intricate polyphony or breathing life into melancholic lute songs. A passionate advocate for historical performance, he’s helped shape how modern audiences experience the emotional depth and social nuances of music from the 16th and 17th centuries.
