Having completed his PhD at the University of Exeter under Yolanda Plumley and Giuliano Di Bacco (‘Rethinking Ars Subtilior: Context, Language, Study and Performance’, 2010), Uri continued his research there, joining the project ‘The Works of Guillaume de Machaut: Music, Image, Text in the Middle Ages’ as a postdoctoral researcher. This was followed by stints of teaching at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, the educational arm of Shakespeare’s Globe, and a three-year Teaching Fellowship at King’s College London.
Uri is also an active Medieval Fiddle, Renaissance Viol and Recorder player, performing, touring and recording with a number of leading Early Music ensembles including the Taverner Consort & Players, Hathor Consort, English Cornett & Sackbut Ensemble, inEcho, Leones, Le Miroir de Musique, La Morra, The Earle His Viols, Perlaro, Dulce Melos, Mediva and The Phoenix Ensemble. Leading also his own ensembles (Le Basile, dedicated to Medieval music and A Garden of Eloquence for later repertoires), he also teaches performance, performance practice and historical musicianship skills.
