In addition to his work with the Newberry Consort, David Douglass (early violins) is the founder and director of the King's Noyse, a Renaissance violin band, and frequently performs with such ensembles as the Musicians of Swanne Alley, the Harp Consort, the Parley of Instruments, the Toronto Consort, and the Folger Consort. His playing has been praised by the New York Times for its "eloquence" and "expressive virtuosity." Through his ground-breaking work in the field of the early violin he has developed a historical technique that produces "a distinctively 'Renaissance' sound and style for the violin." (Fanfare Magazine) Mr. Douglass has been Artist Faculty at the Aston Magna Academy, teaches at many summer early music institutes and workshops, and is a frequent lecturer on early violin technique and repertoire. He has recorded a number of CDs for the harmonia mundi usa, Virgin, Erato, Berlin Classics, and Auvidis/Astrée labels.
