Bruce Dickey

Bruce Dickey is a world-renowned performer and scholar of the cornetto, a wind instrument popular in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Widely credited with helping to spark the modern revival of the instrument, Dickey has spent decades bringing its expressive and vocal-like sound back to concert stages and recordings. Originally from the United States but based in Europe for much of his career, he has collaborated with numerous early music ensembles and is known for his deep knowledge of historical performance practice.

In addition to his performance career, Bruce Dickey is a respected educator, having taught generations of musicians at institutions like the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Switzerland. He's also co-founder of the ensemble Concerto Palatino, named after the famous 17th-century Bologna-based ensemble. His recordings often explore lesser-known repertoire from the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods, highlighting the emotional depth and musical beauty of this era.
