Florian Deuter is one of the leading baroque violinists of his generation. Since Reinhard Goebel invited him in 1986 to join Musica Antiqua Köln, he has risen to positions of leadership by means of his formidable talent and unquenchable energy. By 1994, he was concertmaster of Goebel's ensemble; since then, he has led the Gabrieli Consort, the Chapelle Royale, the Collegium Vocale Gent, the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Les Musiciens du Louvre and Concerto Köln among other ensembles.
