Born in 1982, Edwin Crossley-Mercer first studied the
clarinet and singing at the same time as his German studies. In 2000 he entered
the Versailles Centre de Musique Baroque, going on to further study in
nineteenth-century repertoire. His career has brought concert appearances in
baroque and classical repertoire and stage participation in Gounods Roméo
et Juliette and Tchaikovskys Eugene Onegin.
