Alice Poppleton
Viola, Violin
Alice enjoys a busy freelance life as a violinist, viola player and workshop leader. After three wonderful years at Bristol University, Alice completed post-graduate studies with distinction as Scholar at both The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and The Royal Academy of Music (under the tutelage of Rachel Podger).
Alice loves the rich tapestry of creative projects in her life: performing and touring with The English Concert, The Gabrieli’s and The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment; designing and presenting children’s videos and concerts for The OAE, Handel Hendrix House and Brighton Early Music Festival; and collaborative composition projects for the Royal Academy of Music and English National Opera (performed at The Royal Albert Hall).
She is the co-founder and Director of Thinking Music, a charity which connects rural primary schools and universities delivering a year-long programme to make music together.
Alice enjoys folk fiddling and taking to the great outdoors (keeping the sheep out of the loop about her ever-growing gut string collection). Alice has recently returned from a tour to America with The English Concert which culminated in a performance at the Carnegie Hall – a career highlight.
