Angela East is a most dynamic and controversial cellist who provides a captivating entertainment. As one promoter wrote, "The audience was spellbound; they went away wanting more...."
Angela showed her talent from an early age, winning the Arts Councils
Suggia Award at the age of 14 and continuing her studies at the Royal
Academy of Music with Derek Simpson and later with André Navarra and
Christopher Bunting.
As one of the early pioneers of historical performance practice, her
enthusiasm extends beyond the conventional parameters of early music in
to the nineteenth century. To this end she founded and directs the
Revolutionary Drawing Room, a multi-instrumental ensemble with the
Revolutionary String Quartet as its core.
She is a member of Red Priest, the surrealist and theatrical baroque ensemble with Piers Adams (Recorder).
She founded and directs the London Baroque Soloists, an orchestra that
performs regularly with the BBC Singers. They also perform instrumental
programmes of neglected baroque masterpieces.
