BFX Special Event: Harpsichordpalooza

Presented by San Francisco Early Music Society

Berkeley Festival & Exhibition event image

Early music enthusiasts are familiar with the challenges of transporting and tuning harpsichords. Coordinating these tasks for one instrument is complex, let alone for two, three, or four harpsichords. This salon highlights two rare Baroque works for four harpsichords: Johann Sebastian Bach's renowned adaptation of Antonio Vivaldi's concerto for four violins (RV 580) and Georg Christoph Wagenseil's concerto for four harpsichords, a unique composition without orchestral accompaniment. Scholars Matthew Dirst and Annette Richards will offer musical insights at this unmissable event showcasing these extravagant pieces.
