Roy Whelden & Rudy Rucker
Like a Passing River

Roy Whelden was born in 1950 in New Hampshire. He was raised there and in the mountains of northern Pennsylvania. Until Whelden was 23 his instruments were trumpet and, secondarily, cello. After studies in music theory and trumpet at Eastman School of Music and at Indiana University (Bloomington, IN), he began playing the viola da gamba. This led to study with the gambist John Hsu in Ithaca, New York, and with Thomas Binkley in Bloomington. Since then Whelden has taught both the viola da gamba and the medieval fiddle at various institutions - for example, at Hoch's Conservatory in Frankfurt, Germany - and performed with various internationally known ensembles, among them Sequentia (Cologne), Ensemble Alcatraz and American Baroque, both based in San Francisco.
