The violinist Rémy Baudet was born in The Hague, beginning violin lessons at the age of five. At a young age he was invited to study at the University of Groningen, moving to Amsterdam to study with Mark Lubotsky, and gaining the Prize for Outstanding Student at the Amsterdam Conservatory. In 1980 he was named co-Concertmaster of the Arnhem Philharmonic Orchestra, dividing his time between this position and his appointment by Frans Bruggen as Concertmaster of the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, as well as many solo engagements on both Baroque and modern violin.
