Robert Hill

Robert Hill, professor for historical keyboard instruments and performance practice at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik Freiburg in Germany, studied harpsichord with Gustav Leonhardt at the Amsterdam Conservatory, receiving his Soloist Diploma in 1974. That same year he co-founded the Baroque chamber music ensemble Musick for the Generall Peace, together with violinist Jeanne Lamon and viola da gambist Sarah Cunningham.

During the early 1980s Robert Hill performed regularly with the ensemble Musica Antiqua Köln and in a duo with its leader Reinhard Goebel. He enjoys playing with both early music specialists and with modern musicians, among them the violinists Gottfried von der Goltz, Rainer Kussmaul, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, Christian Tetzlaff, violist Kim Kashkashian, conductors Helmut Müller-Brühl, Nicholas McGegan and Thomas Zehetmair, and orchestras such as the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, the Cologne Chamber Orchestra and the Northern Sinfonia.

In 1987 Robert Hill received his Ph.D. in Music History from Harvard University for a dissertation under Prof. Christoph Wolff on problems of authenticity and sources of the early keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach. From 1986-1990, Robert Hill was Assistant Professor of Musicology and Performance Practice at Duke University (Durham, North Carolina). His current research interests include the reconstruction of nineteenth-century performance practices.
