Harpsichord workshop by one of the world's leading musicians

GORHAM -- Amsterdam's well respected Richard Egarr will offer a Harpsichord Workshop during his stay in Gorham, to take place the day before his concert with Baroque violinist, Mimi Mitchell, also from Amsterdam.  The event will take place at the Medallion Opera House in Gorham Town Hall on Wednesday afternoon, July 25, at 4 p.m.. Admission is by donation and keyboard players are welcome to sign up to play. 

Called “the Bernstein of Early Music” by NPR Music for his always exhilarating and engaging performances, Egarr has made countless appearances from Europe to China, including thrilling Boston audiences with appearances on the Boston Early Music Festival concert stage with the Academy of Ancient Music and the Handel and Haydn Society.  Richard regularly conducts other leading period instrument orchestras including Philharmonia Baroque and Portland Baroque. He is increasingly sought-after by non-period orchestras such as the Dallas Symphony, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the Berlin Konzerhausorchester and the Rotterdam Philharmonic. His numerous recordings range from solo works by Frescobaldi, Purcell, Bach and Purcell to orchestral works with the Academy of Ancient Music and the Flemish Radio Orchestra.
