OLAV CHRIS HENRIKSEN, acclaimed throughout Europe and North America as a soloist on early plucked instruments, is a much sought-after ensemble player, performing and recording with the Boston Camerata, Handel & Haydn Society, Waverly Consort, Boston Baroque, Emmanuel Music, Ensemble Chaconne, and Musicians of the Old Post Road, among others.  In October 2012 he performed with bass/baritone Joel Frederiksen in a recital at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.  Other recent performances include appearances at the Wadsworth Athaneum (Hartford CT) and the National Gallery in London.  His new solo recording, Guitar of the North, is on the Centaur label ; his first solo recording, La Guitarre Royalle: French Baroque and Classical Guitar Music, is on the Museum Music label; he has also recorded for Nonesuch, Erato, Pro Musica, Telarc and Decca.  He performs and lectures frequently at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, playing musical instruments from the Museum’s own collection.  He has also lectured at Harvard University, Cambridge; Nelson Atkins Museum, Kansas City; Musikkhögskolen, Oslo; Aston Magna Academy, Rutgers University; and Lincoln Center Institute, New York.  He teaches at the Boston Conservatory and the University of Southern Maine.  The Boston Herald praised his playing of Dowland and Kapsberger, saying, “Henriksen was able to dazzle with his virtuosity in the fantastical figurations of John Dowland’s solo Fantasy for lute and Kapsberger’s similarly brilliant Toccata prima.”
