He regularly appears with such early music specialists as his brothers, Sigiswald Kuijken, violin, and Wieland Kuijken, viol, as well as with Paul Dombrecht, oboe, and harpsichordist Bob van Asperen. He performed frequently with the late harpsichordist Gustav Leonhardt. Born in Belgium in 1949, Kuijken began his conservatory studies on the modern flute in Bruges and Brussels, where he played with the contemporary music ensemble Musiques Nouvelles. He discovered the Baroque flute on his own while a student in Brussels. Using the numerous 18th-century treatises about the instrument as his guides and drawing inspiration from more general studies in the art, history, and literature of the Baroque period, he turned to the exploration of the instrument. Kuijken examined such Baroque flutes as could be found in museums and worked closely with several instrument makers to create playable copies for performance. He has further advanced the 21st-century place of the Baroque flute by rediscovering and editing original 17th- and 18th-century repertoire for the instrument, including a newly annotated Urtext edition of J. S. Bach’s flute compositions, published by Breitkopf and Härtel. He currently serves as professor of Baroque flute at the Royal Conservatories of Brussels and The Hague. In addition to playing in the Baroque orchestra La Petite Bande, Kuijken has an active touring schedule as soloist, conductor, and master class teacher. Concerts take him throughout Europe, North and South America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and Russia. Since 1986, he has increasingly pursued his interest in conducting, with special emphasis on the vocal works of J. S. Bach. Toma Iliev is a native of Sofia, Bulgaria. He started his musical studies at the age of six when he was admitted to the National Music School “Lubomir Pipkov” in Sofia. In 2007, he graduated with a diploma from the same institution, majoring in violin performance. While still in high school, he participated in many concert events and festivals. He also won prizes in national and international competitions, including the W. A. Mozart Competition (Uppsala, Sweden, 2000), Music of Austria and Germany International Competition (Burgas, Bulgaria, 2005) and International Competition “Young Virtuosos” (Sofia, Bulgaria, 2005 and 2007). In 2007, he was admitted with a full scholarship to Louisiana State University and one year later, to Indiana University. In 2010, he finished his Bachelor of Music degree in the violin studio of Kevork Mardirossian. In 2009, Iliev won an award at the IU Travel Grant Competition and participated in the International Beethoven’s Hradec Competition in the Czech Republic. In 2011, he joined Stanley Ritchie’s studio at the Jacobs School of Music, minoring in Early Music Performance. That same year, he started participating in various ensembles, such as the IU Baroque and Classical Orchestra, as a baroque violinist. His interest in early music practice was also inspired by his work with renowned early music performers such as Nigel North and Michael McCraw. Currently, Iliev is pursuing a Master of Music degree at Jacobs. Stephanie Raby was first introduced to historical performance when she moved to England in 2001. Her teacher Deidre Ward, one of the violin faculty at Chetams School of Music and a modern and baroque violinist, helped motivate and inspire her to take up both types of violin professionally. In 2006, Raby moved back to the United States in order to pursue a B.M. in modern violin performance at the University of North Texas (UNT) with Igor Borodin and Julia Bushkova. In 2007, she was one of the winners of the UNT Concerto Competition with the Shostakovich Concerto No.1 in A Minor under the direction of Anshel Brusilow. At UNT, she actively participated in the baroque program, initially starting baroque violin lessons with Cynthia Roberts and then viola da gamba with Pat Nordstrom and Allen Whear. In 2009 and 2011, she performed with the UNT Baroque Orchestra at the Boston Early Music Festival. Additionally, she has played with ensembles such as the Denton Bach Society, Orchestra of New Spain, San Francisco Bach Choir, Vox Reflexa, Exordium, and, most recently, she was a soloist with Aston Magna and Mountainside Baroque. Raby is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Early Music Performance at Indiana University under the guidance of Stanley Ritchie and is an active member of the viol consort Les Touches. From Valencia, Venezuela, María José Romero Ramos holds a Bachelor of Music and a Graduate Artist Certificate from the University of North Texas (UNT), where she was a student of Julia Bushkova and studied baroque violin with Cynthia Roberts. While there, Romero was named 2008-09 Presser Scholar, served as concertmistress in the UNT Symphony, Concert, and Baroque Orchestras, and performed as soloist with the Baroque Orchestra. She led the aforementioned ensemble at the Boston Early Music Festival (BEMF) and was invited to perform at the Early Music America (EMA) Young Performers Festival Ensemble at BEMF for the EMA‘s twenty-fifth anniversary. Additionally, she has performed professionally with the Denton Bach Society, Dallas Chamber Players series, San Francisco Bach Choir Orchestra, and Mountainside Baroque. She has been a recipient of the EMA Summer Scholarship and has participated in the American Bach Soloists Summer Institute and the Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute, where she was concertmistress of the student orchestra. Romero has also attended the Aspen Music Festival and School, among other summer festivals, as a full scholarship recipient. She was a member of the inaugural Sphinx Chamber Orchestra national tour, performing in the Stern Auditorium of Carnegie Hall, among other venues throughout the country. Romero is currently a Jacobs fellow at IU, pursuing a Master of Music degree under the tutelage of Kevork Mardirossian and studying baroque violin with Stanley Ritchie. ___________________ Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra Violin Cello Oboe Allison Edberg Lara Turner Sung Lee Janelle Davis MaryAnn Shore Matvey Lapin Cello / Basse de Violon Christine Kyprianides Bassoon Violin / Viola Stephanie Corwin Martha Perry Violone James Andrewes Philip Spray Harpsichord Thomas Gerber Viola Flute Rachel Gries Barbara Kallaur Alisa Rata Stutzbach Leela Breithaupt Brandi Berry.
