Dick
Hensold (B.M., Oberlin Conservatory) is a freelance musician
specializing in early music, traditional music of Scotland,
Northumberland, and Cape Breton Island, and Cambodian traditional
music. He performs on Northumbrian small-pipes (a quiet bagpipe),
Montgomery smallpipes (an historical smallpipe), recorder, medieval
greatpipes, Swedish bagpipes, traditional Cambodian reed instruments,
seljefløyte, and low whistle. He is currently the
foremost Northumbrian smallpiper in North America, has performed in
both Scotland and England, and has taught Northumbrian smallpipes at
workshops in the United States, Canada, and Northumberland. Hensold has regularly appeared as recorder soloist with the Twin Cities-based baroque orchestra Lyra Concert since 1986, also appearing with the Chicago Early Music Consort, Ex Machina, Circle of Sound, and the Minnesota Orchestra. His research interest in early Scottish music resulted in a lecture and concert appearance at the 1997 Lowland and Border Piper’s Society collogue in Peebles, Scotland. He released his solo CD, Big Music for Northumbrian Smallpipes, in August 2007. He is a 2006 Bush Artist Fellow. |
