Pip Eastop

Pip Eastop (born 1958)[1] is a virtuoso horn player from London, England.

He studied at the Royal Academy of Music from 1974 to 1976, leaving to take up the position of Principal Horn with the Antwerp Philharmonic Orchestra (now known as the Royal Flemish Philharmonic Orchestra).

He has held principal horn positions with the London Sinfonietta, the Wallace Collection (a now-defunct brass ensemble) and the Gabrieli Consort.

In 1996, The Arts Council of Great Britain awarded Pip Eastop a research development grant to explore "the possibilities of controlling computer-driven transformation of sound during live, partially improvised performance".

This work was undertaken in collaboration with the composer Edward Williams.
