[edit] Background

Born in Liverpool, Pascoe studied violin, piano and conducting at the Royal College of Music in London. He holds first-class honours degrees (MA and Master of Philosophy) from both Cork Institute of Technology and University College Cork respectively, and currently lives in Cork, Ireland.

[edit] Career

Pascoe's professional life began in 1981, when he became a founding member (and leader) of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. Subsequent full-time positions included sub-leader of the London Philharmonic at the age of twenty-three, assistant director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields (with whom he has appeared as soloist), and ten years with exclusive EMI artists, the Britten Quartet.

Since 1998, Pascoe has been a violinist with the RTÉ Vanbrugh String Quartet, and has been artists-in-residence to University College Cork.

[edit] Recent works

More recently, in addition to having a busy international schedule, Pascoe has been researching the music of the eighteenth-century composer Luigi Boccherini. His critical edition of a previously unpublished work by Boccherini, recently issued by HH Edition, was critically acclaimed.

In 2004, Pascoe was appointed conductor of the Cork Symphony Orchestra.
