Cellist and viola da gamba player Gavin Kibble studied first at the University of Oxford (with Laurence Dreyfus) and then at the Royal Academy of Music (with Jonathan Manson and Joseph Crouch) before continuing his studies privately with Gerhart Darmstadt and Juan Manuel Quintana. Shortly after graduating, he took part in the orchestral academies of Ambronay, Saintes and Aix-en-Provence. Gavin joined the London Handel Players in 2022, with whom he enjoys a busy touring schedule both domestically and internationally and has released several acclaimed recordings including, most recently, Telemann’s first book of ‘Quadri’. A frequent guest principal of the Academy of Ancient Music, Gavin is also a member of Solomons Knot baroque collective and is involved with many other ensembles including the English Baroque Soloists, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the Gabrieli Consort, La Nuova Musica, the Mozartists and the Sixteen. Further afield, he has been invited to play as guest continuo cellist at the Opera del Liceu in Barcelona, as well as with groups including Cappella Mediterranea, Vox Luminis and the Irish Baroque Orchestra. Gavin also collaborates with the 'Newe Vialles', where he mostly plays tenor viol.
