"..a rising star of early music" (The Times - Best Newcomer, December 2001)

Gary studied organ and harpsichord at Chetham's School of Music and at the John Loosemoore Centre, and was an organ scholar at New College, Oxford. Since 1992 he has been a member of the ensemble Sonnerie, with whom he has performed regularly at the Wigmore Hall, throughout Europe and the United States, and recorded frequently on both disc and radio. Gary also appears with The King's Consort, The Musicians of the Globe and Concordia, or as a soloist, director or accompanist. During 2000 he is planning to perform Bach's 48 Preludes and Fugues throughout Britain, and to record the complete virginal music of William Byrd. Gary is also director of The New Chamber Opera and The Band of Instruments, and recent productions include Britten's Turn of the Screw and Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro; both ensembles are also involved in a project to record French and Italian dramatic music from the 17th and 18th centuries for ASV, the most recent release of which - Rameau's complete cantatas (CDGAX 234) - met with critical acclaim.
