Jonathan Wainwright has research interests in 16th- and 17th-century English and Italian music. A central concern of his research is the question of the dissemination and influence of Italian music in England in the seventeenth century - an area of study that provides the context for publications on seventeenth-century musical patronage, music collections of the period, music in Civil War Oxford, and on Purcell. Jonathan Wainwright is also active as a performer: he is the director of the group Concertare (a professional ensemble which specializes in the performance of Baroque music) and Cantores Collegiorum (which performs plainsong and medieval music).
