Scott Metcalfe

Metcalfe has been invited to serve as guest director by Emmanuel Music (Boston), Monadnock Music (New Hampshire), the Tudor Choir and Seattle Baroque (Seattle, WA), Pacific Baroque Orchestra (Vancouver, BC), and the Dryden Ensemble (Princeton, NJ), in works by Monteverdi, Biber, Buxtehude, Handel, Bach, and others. In January 2010 he led the Green Mountain Project in an all-star 400th-anniversary performance of Monteverdi’s 1610 Vespers in New York City, which the New York Times called “quite simply terrific.” Metcalfe is a member of Cleveland’s Les Délices (dir. Debra Nagy) and a participant in Montreal’s early music scene, working with Arion, Montreal Baroque, Les Voix Baroques, and other groups. Besides playing and directing, Metcalfe keeps busy writing, teaching, translating, and editing. He is at work on a new complete edition of the songs of Gilles Binchois in collaboration with Sean Gallagher, and is a lecturer in choral repertoire and performance practice at Boston University. Metcalfe received a bachelor’s degree in 1985 from Brown University, where he majored in biology, and in 2005 completed a master’s degree in historical performance practice at Harvard University.
