Laurence Cummings is one of Britain's leading exponents of historical performance and a noted authority on Handel.

Equally at home on the concert platform and in the opera house, he serves as the Music Director of the acclaimed Academy of Ancient Music and has worked at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Glyndebourne Festival Opera, English National Opera, and Opernhaus Zurich, among others.

Today, he shares his rich performance experience with the early keyboard players at the Royal College of Music.
