Jaap ter Linden founded and directs the Mozart Akademie (with which he has recorded the complete
Mozart symphonies) and is a regular guest director and soloist with the Arion Ensemble (Canada). He has led many period instrument orchestras such as the San Francisco Philharmonia Baroque, Portland Baroque and Amsterdam Bach Soloists and has lent his expertise to modern ensembles such as the Amsterdam Sinfonietta and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie.

Linden's master class will focus on baroque string playing, specifically in works of Vivaldi and Muffat. Working with students from the Baroque Chamber Orchestra on baroque instruments from the Stearns Collection, he will work on string technique, issues of performance practice, and models of baroque interpretation and analysis.
