La Guitarre Royalle

William Carter

William Carter was born in Jacksonville, Florida. He played the guitar from an early age and after studies at The Florida State University, where he gained both Bachelor and Masters Degrees in Music with Honours, he moved to North Carolina as part of that state's Artist-in Residence programme. After 4 years (and over 1000 performances) he accepted the post of Professor of Guitar at The Pennsylvania State University. During this period he became increasingly interested in instruments of the lute family and the world of historical performance practice. Following initial guidance from Pat O'Brien in New York, Mr. Carter travelled to London as a Fulbright Scholar where he worked with Nigel North at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama. It was during this time that he became one of the founding members of the Palladian Ensemble, with whom he has toured and recorded extensively and appeared in most of the major music festivals in Europe and abroad. Mr. Carter presently makes! his home in London where in addition to his work with the Palladian Ensemble he often appears as a guest artist with distinguished chamber ensembles such as London Baroque, Fretwork and The Locke Consort. He is also the Principal Lutenist of both The Academy of Ancient Music and The English Concert. Mr. Carter is currently Professor of Lute and Baroque Studies at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama and is also a regular faculty member of the Annual Summer Academy of Baroque Music held at the Royal Wilanow Palace in Warsaw. This is his first solo recording.
