A native of Oxford, England, Sir Roger Norrington has been a pioneer in the field of historically informed performance since he founded the Schütz Choir in 1962. He went on to create the London Classical Players in 1978 with whom he toured and made numerous seminal recordings, including the famed series of Beethoven symphonies. Sir Roger's work on scores, sound, orchestra size, seating, and playing style has had a profound effect on the way 18th and 19th century music is now perceived. He is in great demand by symphony orchestras world wide and regularly conducts orchestras in Berlin, Vienna, Salzburg, Amsterdam, Paris, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and London. Since 1998 Norrington has been Chief Conductor of the Radio Symphony Orchestra of Stuttgart.
