Frederick Renz is a unique figure in the early music movement. Equally adept in all forms of  music and music drama from the 11th through the 18th centuries, he has reaped international acclaim for his work as a conductor, producer, director, and performer while leading Early Music New York to preeminence in the field.

 

As a Fulbright grantee, Dr. Renz studied harpsichord performance with Gustav Leonhardt at the Amsterdam Conservatory, Netherlands. He was keyboard soloist with the legendary New York Pro Musica Antiqua for six seasons and founded the Early Music Foundation when the former organization disbanded in 1974. Under his enterprising direction, Early Music New York has earned accolades worldwide for its vibrant performances of music and music drama from the Middle Ages through the early classical periods.
