Toet honored with Monk Prize
Charles Toet, Emeritus of the Schola Cantorum Basel, has been awarded the Christopher Monk Prize 2022 as part of the Early Brass Festival 2022.
Born in The Hague in 1951, Charles Toet studied trombone at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and began to specialize in early music and the baroque trombone. He taught historical trombone in The Hague, at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Trossingen.
The Christopher Monk Award was initiated by the Historic Brass Society (HBS). It is awarded annually to an individual for outstanding achievements in the field of historical brass instruments. The HBS organizes symposia and collaborates with other organizations on conferences. This year's Early Brass Festival was organized in collaboration with the Vintage Band Festival in Northfield (Minnesota, USA).
