Artist Spotlight
In Conversation: George Ross
What non-musical hobbies or interests do you have?
A big one is cycling, which I love as a way of exploring the outdoors while getting some exercise. It’s also an ingenious mode of transport. I would probably go everywhere by bike if it weren’t for having to carry a cello.
What is your earliest musical memory?
I remember performing the little drummer boy, playing the drum, as part of my parents’ children’s choir when I was about three or four. It’s not something I would easily forget.
What’s so special about HIP/early music performances?
I find that thoughtful and exciting HIP performances can really bring great music to life in new and evocative ways. Expressive and nuanced playing are qualities that come to mind, as well as keeping things fresh on stage. Early music has always been about questioning our approach to music of the past and I hope there’s no end to this exploration.
