Mark Elder (b. 1947) learned bassoon and piano, and joined the choir at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. From 1979 to 1993, he was at the helm of the English National Opera, where he put his extensive knowledge of the repertoire to good use. Attached to his homeland, he spent his entire career in England, taking up successive positions as Music Director of The London Mozart Players, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1992, he began a three-year collaboration with the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, and in 1999 led the Hallé Orchestra for a renewed term in 2015. Three years later, the conductor knighted by the Queen in 2008 took over the helm of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
