معرفی
Alison McGillivray is a Baroque Cello Tutor at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, specializing in historical performance practices and combining her expertise with Feldenkrais Method principles to explore movement-music interplay. She holds a modern cello background from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (formerly RSAMD) under William Conway, deepening her early music studies with Jennifer Ward Clark in London. Her performance career includes principal cello roles with the Academy of Ancient Music and English Consort, alongside solo and directorial engagements across Europe.
Her recordings highlight Baroque and Early Modern repertoire: notable releases include CPE Bach’s Cello Concerto (Academy of Ancient Music) and Geminiani Cello Sonatas (Linn Records). Upcoming projects involve Tobias Hume’s works with Concerto Caledonia, Vivaldi’s L’Estro Armonico with Brecon Baroque, and a folk-inspired Nine Daies Wonder album celebrating Will Kemp’s 1600 dance journey.
McGillivray’s pedagogical work integrates body awareness techniques to enhance musical expression, reflecting her dual qualification as a Feldenkrais practitioner. Though no awards are explicitly listed, her discography and ensemble collaborations underscore her contributions to preserving and reinterpreting early music traditions.
