In 2002 he founded, and continues to direct, the Collegium Musicum, an ensemble specializing in music before 1750. He is also director of the newly established Recorder Music Center, housed in the Dayton Memorial Library at Regis. Davenport holds the Ph.D. and Master of Music degrees in Musicology from the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he was the recipient of both the Gordon Getty Foundation Scholarship and the Ogilvy Research Fellowship (Center for British Studies) for his doctoral work on the seventeenth-century English composer William Lawes. He conducted doctoral research at the Bodleian and Christ Church Libraries in Oxford. His undergraduate work was at Sarah Lawrence College, in Bronxville, New York, and the State University of New York, College at New Paltz, where he received a B.A. in Music History and Literature, summa cum laude. He has taught at the State University of New York, College at New Paltz, the University of Colorado at Boulder, and the Metropolitan State College of Denver.

Davenport’s areas of specialization are in Early Music and American Music. His scholarly articles have appeared in The Journal of the Viola Da Gamba Society of America, Early Music America: The Magazine of Historical Performance, American Recorder, and in a chapter of a book entitled William Lawes: Essays on His Life, Times, and Work, published by Ashgate (1998). He has served as Book Review Editor for American Recorder, the journal of the American Recorder Society, and Editor of Early Music Colorado Quarterly. From 1993-1997 he served on the Board of Directors of Early Music Colorado and he is currently on the Board of Directors of the American Recorder Society where he chairs its Education and Programs Committee. He has also edited numerous editions of early music for his music publishing company Landmark Press.

Davenport’s performance background includes working in both the early music and popular music fields. As an instrumentalist, Davenport specializes on baroque and renaissance woodwinds. His early career included touring with the internationally acclaimed New York Pro Musica in its production of the thirteenth-century liturgical drama The Play of Daniel. As a recorder soloist he has appeared with both the Colorado Music Festival and Boulder Bach Festival Orchestras. He has also founded several early music ensembles including the Boulder-based Fiori Musicali and Trio Dolce. Studying cello throughout his youth (with Lawrence Lessor and Judith Davidoff), he received a cello scholarship to attend Sarah Lawrence College where he also studied composition with David Maslanka and Meyer Kupferman. As a contemporary keyboardist, vocalist, songwriter (ASCAP), and producer, Davenport has an extensive performing and recording background with popular groups and projects based in the New York area. His most recent release "Full Circle: Songs on the Carousel of Time," set in a song cycle, offers a retrospective of his original songs. He is currently completing a new album of songs based on 16^th-century hymns, motets and madrigals.
