Susan Williams is one of the world's most well known specialists in baroque trumpet, and has performed and recorded with many of Europe's finest early music ensembles as soloist, chamber musician, and in orchestras and has also studied applied kinesiology as well as psychology.
In addition to performing, Susan teaches at The Royal Conservatorium of The Hague and at the University of the Arts in Bremen, both in the early music department as well as teaching courses in practicing and performance preparation. She has been active in developing reform in conservatories to further develop the training of practicing and strengthen its profile in curriculums.
