By his twenties, Antonius "Ton" Koopman was already carving a musical niche for himself and had begun to rise toward becoming one of the world's most prominent performers in the early music movement. He is a world-class performer both as a conductor and as a keyboardist. Ton Koopman was born in the Dutch town of Zwolle on October 12, 1944. After what he describes as a classical education, he went to Amsterdam to study organ (with Simon C. Jansen), harpsichord (with Gustav Leonhardt), and musicology. Koopman's musical interests from the outset centered upon the re-creation of older music on original instruments in a thoroughly researched historical performing style.
