Holly Scarborough is a performer of early flutes and percussion, internationally active as a musician, ensemble director, and scholar. Her research focuses on the transitional transverse flute at the beginning of the 16th century and music during the reign of Kaiser Maximilian I. A passion for connecting the public with the wonders of early music led her to become the managing director of ReRenaissance – Forum Frühe Musik in 2023, an arts organization in Basel, Switzerland, which plans and presents new monthly concerts and a biannual festival, all dedicated exclusively to music before 1600. Holly studied medieval and Renaissance music performance at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland, completing a master's degree in 2022 with Johanna Bartz and Dr. Marc Lewon. Her research under the supervision of Dr. Martin Kirnbauer focused on the evolving transverse flute at the turn of the sixteenth century, its ensembles, and its political symbolism for Maximilian I. Liane Ehlich, Mara Winter and Norbert Rodenkirchen, as well as Catherine Motuz on improvisation and Gabriele Miracle and Enea Sorini in percussion have also shaped her approach to performance. A native Californian, Holly majored in music performance and philosophy at Wheaton Conservatory of Music in Illinois. With over fifteen years of experience in teaching music lessons, Holly is a passionate promoter of communal music-making, leading her to co-found and direct the independent, non-audition Oakhurst Community Choir in Decatur, Georgia, USA, before moving to Switzerland, where she enjoys hosting Sacred Harp singings, jam sessions, and house concerts and preparing concerts with ensembles Parlamento and Zweigulden.
