Harpsichordist, conductor and composer Jörn Boysen was born in Lübeck, Germany, in 1976. After his studies at the Musikhochschule Lübeck he went to the Netherlands where he studied with Tini Mathot and Ton Koopman at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. As founder and director of Musica Poetica, guest conductor, soloist or continuo player, he regularly performs in Germany, the Netherlands and France.
He was invited to European festivals as the Festival Mitte Europa, Göttinger Händel Festspiele, Delft Chamber Music Festival, Itinéraire Baroque and the Utrecht Festival Oude Muziek. Boysen worked with Alina Ibragimova, Lisa Ferschtman and regularly records and performs with Antoinette Lohmann (Furor Musicus).
Critics describe his harpsichord playing as „… affective…, dynamic…“ and „… of délicatesse…“.
[...] An outstanding musician,
conductor and harpsichordist [...]
The masterful, incredibly artistic and sensitive conducting by Jörn Boysen himself brought the concert in Zaryadye to the level of outstanding premières.
Liudmila Privizentseva, 2019
“The Musica Poetica ensemble benefits from the exciting and temperamental direction of Jörn Boysen: the construction of the crescendos, as well as the contrasting nuances with strong accents, reveal an inspired conductor and excellent accompanist.”
Musica Poetica
The group is composed of musicians from all over the world who specialise in Early Music, having completed their studies in the conservatories of the Netherlands. They share an interest in performing music from the 17th and 18th centuries from an historically informed perspective, using instruments from that period and informed by historical sources.
