Ritchie

viola da gamba, fiddle and Lirone a.o.

Roots
Born and raised in Great Britain

Study
I studied in Oxford (New College), London (Royal Academy of Music) and Basel (Schola Cantorum Basiliensis).

Professional
I play viola da gamba, fiddle, lirone and cello, in various ensembles, be it consort, solo and continuo playing.

Why
I often ask myself that. Better said, it chose me. But I am happy with it.

Elective Affinities
This is a very personal question. So many things have impacted my life and career.
