About Jaap ter Linden

As one of the first early music specialists, Jaap ter Linden witnessed the very beginnings
of many of the oldest and finest baroque ensembles as co-founder of Musica da Camera
and principal cellist of Musica Antiqua Köln, The English Concert and the Amsterdam
Baroque Orchestra. From these auspicious beginnings, he moved further into the
spotlight, either playing solo concerts and intimate ensemble repertoire with the world’s
finest interpreters or at the helm of an orchestra as conductor.

He founded and directs the Mozart Akademie (with which he has recorded the complete
Mozart symphonies) and is a regular guest director and soloist with the Arion Ensemble
(Canada). He has led many period instrument orchestras such as the San Francisco
Philharmonia Baroque, Portland Baroque and Amsterdam Bachsoloists and has lent his
expertise to modern ensembles such as the Amsterdam Sinfonietta and the Deutsche
Kammerphilharmonie.
