Julian Perkins is a British harpsichordist, fortepianist, and conductor celebrated for his vibrant interpretations of Baroque and classical music. A champion of historical keyboards, he’s known for breathing fresh life into works by Handel, Telemann, and lesser-known composers like Thomas Augustine Arne and John Worgan (whose complete harpsichord music he’s recorded). His projects often blend scholarship with creativity, whether reconstructing Handel’s clavichord improvisations in "Handel’s Attick" or pairing 18th-century repertoire with modern composers like Stephen Dodgson in adventurous programs. Perkins frequently collaborates with ensembles like the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and his own ensemble, Sounds Baroque, while quirky releases like "Tournament for Twenty Fingers" showcase his playful approach to piano duets. A familiar face at London’s Handel & Hendrix House museum, he bridges eras by exploring music where Handel lived and Jimi Hendrix later rocked.
