# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Christopher Jarvis Haley Hogwood was born on 10 September 1941 in England, trained as both harpsichordist and scholar, and founded the Academy of Ancient Music, an ensemble devoted to performing works on instruments and in styles true to their original eras. His approach — historically informed performance, built on archival research and reconstructed sound — became a pillar of the early music revival that swept through concert halls in the late 20th century. As conductor and musicologist, he made the case that hearing Bach or Vivaldi through 18th-century ears wasn't nostalgia but clarity. He died on 24 September 2014, two weeks after his seventy-third birthday.
