Christopher Wilson

English lutenist Christopher Wilson studied with Diana Poulton at the Royal College of Music from 1970 to 1972, and performed his debut recital at Wigmore Hall in 1977. He has performed and recorded a remarkable range of sixteenth- and seventeenth century music for solo lute. He is also a frequent collaborator with singers Paul Agnew, Rufus Müller, Michael Chance, and Shirley Rumsey (with whom he formed the duo Kithara). He founded the Lute Group and has played with such ensembles as the Consort of Musicke, Fretwork, English Baroque Soloists, and Gothic Voices. He teaches the lute at Trinity College of Music in London.
