Anneke Scott is rapidly emerging as one of the outstanding younger exponents of the natural horn.  Having begun her studies at The Royal Academy of Music, London she was awarded prestigious scholarships to further her study in France and Holland where she concentrated on the various aspects of period horns.  Since her graduation from The Royal Academy of Music in 2000 she has been in demand with ensembles in the UK and continental Europe.  She is principal horn of Harry Christopher’s The Symphony of Harmony and Invention (the orchestra of The Sixteen) and is frequently principal horn with The English Concert, The Hanover Band, Freiburg Baroque, The Early Opera Company and Concerto Caledonia. She has also performed with The Academy of Ancient Music, Concerto Copenhagen, English Baroque Soloists, Europa Galante, The Kings Consort, The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Orchestre des Champs Elysees and Opera Fuoco.  For many years she has had a keen interest in chamber music which led to her becoming a founder member of The Etesian Ensemble. Through this ensemble she met the fortepianist Kathryn Cok with whom she formed a duo specialising in classical and romantic repertoire for horn and fortepiano.  An integral element of Anneke Scott’s career has been research.  Recently she has been invited to study for a PhD and teach period horns at the Centre for Early Music Performance at the University of Birmingham. She has also received the great privilege of being invited by The Bate Collection, Oxford to perform in concert on one of their magnificent original Hofmaster horns dating from the mid 18th century.  At the other end of the spectrum she has performed with the specialist contemporary music ensemble The London Sinfonietta and can be heard on two albums with The Nigel Waddington Big Band.
