ELIZABETH WILCOCK won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music and later to the Mozarteum, Salzburg. It was here whilst studying with the Hungarian violinist Sandor Vegh that she met Nicholaus Harnoncourt and began her interest in authentic performance. Upon her return to Britain in 1976 she became one of the pioneers of the early music revival in this country, playing and recording with conductors such as Christopher Hogwood, Trevor Pinnock and John Eliot Gardiner. Elizabeth led the English Baroque Soloists for twelve years and the Gainsborough Quartet, whose recording of Mozart Piano Quartets for Deutsche Grammophon was voted record of the month. In 1992 Elizabeth gave up the performing and touring life and moved with her three children to Dorset where she retrained at Bristol University as a Music Therapist. She now practices Music Therapy as well as playing with Sulis.
