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.
