Biography
Mimi Mitchell enjoys a dual international career as a musicologist and as a musician, and each of these professions informs the other. As a musicologist, she edited Early Music in the 21st Century (Oxford University Press, 2024) and contributed to the celebratory volume from the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, The Collection of Historic Musical Instruments: The First 100 Years (Praesens Verlag, 2018). She was the co-curator for The Historical Violin symposium and organized the conference Early Music in the 21st Century. As a historical violinist, Mimi won first prize at the Erwin Body (Boston) and the Early Music Network (London) competitions with The Locke Consort and can be heard on more than 50 CDs as a chamber and orchestral musician. Mimi works as a violinist/conductor, speaker, teacher and coach and is a senior lecturer and Masters Coordinator at the Conservatory of Amsterdam.
