We are delighted and honoured to announce that Crispian Steele-Perkins has agreed to become one of our 25th Anniversary Honorary Patrons. Crispian has been a generous supporter of our work since the foundation of Leeds Baroque Orchestra in 2000, joining us to play in our first season and many occasions thereafter. He is acknowledged throughout the world as one of the finest exponents of the trumpet and the natural trumpet in particular.
In 2023 he was awarded the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from the National Centre for Early Music for his service to period instrument performance.
Crispian says of his appointment: My friend and colleague Peter Holman invited me to participate in Leeds Baroque Orchestra’s inaugural season and diaries from subsequent seasons record many return visits including the 10th anniversary and 20th just before Covid devastated all forms of ‘live’ entertainment.
I withdrew from the 2022 Leeds Baroque Bach concert due to a motorcycle accident but major surgery has restored mobility and reinvigorated me to champion the cause of local choirs and Music Societies who form the backbone of British music making. Predominant among them with greatly treasured memories, Leeds Baroque Orchestra and their choir will hopefully flourish and prosper.
