Jed Wentz studied traverso with Barthold
Kuijken at the Royal Conservatory in the Hague. He has performed
with leading early music ensembles like Musica Antiqua Koln, the
Gabrielli Consort and Les Musiciens du Louvre.
He founded
Musica ad Rhenum in 1992 in order to put his
personal vision of Baroque music to the test: first re-examining the
sources and then putting into practice some of the more controversial
aspects of 18th-century performance practice which they describe.
Recently, he has turned his attention towards conducting, exploring the
relationship between theater aesthetics, music and 18th-century
theories about the generation of human emotions. He teaches traverso
at the Amsterdam Conservatory of Music.
