Benjamin Bayl - conductor

Benjamin Bayl’s skill and flair in conducting period instrument ensembles as well as modern orchestras has led to collaborations with and support from many notable figures, not least Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Iván Fischer, Ivor Bolton, Harry Bicket, Paul McCreesh and Richard Hickox, to name a few.
