Robert Mealy (vielle and harp) has received much critical acclaim for his performances on a wide variety of historical strings. He has toured and recorded with period-instrument ensembles throughout Europe and the Americas, including the Paris-based ensemble Les Arts Florissants, the Canadian baroque orchestra Tafelmusik, and Boston’s Handel and Haydn Society. He is a member of the King’s Noyse, a Renais sance violin band which appears frequently at international early music festivals and records for harmonia mundi USA, and of Louis Louis, an ensemble devoted to the rich repertoire of the French Baroque. Mr. Mealy also serves as concertmaster for The Boston Camerata, with whom he has recorded music from the twelfth through the twentieth centuries. His interest in earlier repertoires let him to cofound Fortune’s Wheel, a medieval ensemble as well as perform and record with Ensemble Project Ars Nova. He is currently involved with Sequentia’s ongoing project to record the works of the twelfth- century mystic Hildegard of Bingen, and recently appeared at Lincoln Center in their production of her Ordo Virtutum.
