Miranda Hutton is one of Aotearoa’s leading early music specialists. Initially inspired to learn the baroque violin by Graham McPhail, Miranda continued her studies with Ryo Terakado and the leading lights of the Dutch early music movement in The Netherlands. Highlights of her time in Europe include tours to Iceland and Italy, recording several CDs with the New Dutch Academy and winning first prize with her classical period quartet at a competition in Mannheim.
After her return to Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, Miranda regularly performed across the Tasman with Pinchgut Opera, The Australian Haydn Ensemble and the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra. Miranda is the Artistic Director of NZ Barok Orchestra, leads Auckland Choral and Bach Musica in baroque programmes, teaches baroque violin and chamber music at the University of Auckland, and has appeared with Chamber Music New Zealand, NZ Opera, and the NZ Dance Company at the Auckland and NZ Arts Festivals.
