Within the first few moments of a performance, Marion Verbruggen (recorder) quickly dispels any preconceptions that the audience may have about recorder players and the capabilities of the recorder. This charismatic virtuoso gives performances that are high-spirited and technically dazzling, and, in her hands, the recorder is a sensuous, expressive instrument.

Amsterdam-born Verbruggen has earned an international reputation as a master of style in her solo recitals throughout North America, Japan and Europe. As a chamber musician, she has performed and recorded with many renowned early music artists and such prestigious ensembles as Musica Antiqua Köln, Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Tafelmusik. Her master classes and workshops given worldwide are proof of her brilliant ability to communicate and inspire.

Ms. Verbruggen is also an avid exponent of contemporary music, and received the 1973 Nicolai Prize for performance of contemporary Dutch music. She recently made her conducting debut with the Portland Baroque Orchestra. She can be heard on a wide range of Harmonia Mundi USA recordings.
