Bradley Creswick - Director
Bradley has an amazingly rich and varied career as Leader of the 
Northern Sinfonia. Some personal highlights include the EMI recording of Vaughan Williams’ Lark Ascending and Concerto
Accademico with Richard Hickox, performing Prokofiev’s Concerto no.2 for Radio 3 and recording all the Handel op.6 Concerti grossi with George Malcolm. More recent recordings include: Handel Concerti grossi op.3 for Naxos and the Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola by Mozart with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra.
In 1987 Bradley moved to London to lead the Philharmonia, still maintaining his relationship with the Sinfonia, making guest appearances, notably as soloist with them in the 1989 BBC Proms playing the Lark Ascending. The London years continued as leader of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House before taking the opportunity, in 1994, to return to the Sinfonia and the Northeast for a second time.
Recently, Bradley has been invited twice to Marlboro Music Festival in America and is a regular guest director with the Lancashire Sinfonietta. Playing with friends is a vibrant part of life and he relishes the chance to play with the pianist Margaret Fingerhut, giving recitals around the country and has occasionally been heard playing western swing fiddle ‘back home’.
