The Historic Brass Society takes great pleasure in announcing that Anneke Scott is the 2026 recipient of the prestigious Christopher Monk Award. The award was established by the Society in 1995 to recognize scholars, performers, instrument makers, or teachers who have made significant and life-long contributions to study and/or performance in the field of brass history.
Anneke Scott’s activities as a leading performer on the historic horn, and as a pedagogue and researcher have placed her in the forefront of historic horn praxis with a multi-faceted career of high distinction. Anneke is principal horn of a number of internationally renowned period instrument ensembles including Sir John Eliot Gardiner’s Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique and The English Baroque Soloists, Raphaël Pichon's ensemble Pygmalion, Harry Christopher’s The Orchestra of the Sixteen, the Irish Baroque Orchestra, and the Dunedin Consort. She also enjoys an international solo career and has a discography embracing three centuries of
virtuosic horn works, from the famous obligato arias of Bach and Handel to early nineteenth century Viennese sonatas. She is the artistic director of the Prince Regent Band, and a founder member of the harmoniemusik ensemble Boxwood and Brass. Her most recent research (and PhD thesis) has focused on timbre and portamento in natural horn playing of the first half of the 19th century. Anneke has published numerous articles on horn performance practices and instrument designs.
Anneke teaches at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague (Koninklijk Conservatorium, Den Haag) as well as at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.
