About this event
Two by Two: Harpsichord Duets Across the Centuries
(two harpsichords)
A pair of America’s top early music specialists – Peter Sykes directs harpsichord studies at The Juilliard School; Gwendolyn Toth is professor of Historical Performance Practice at The Graduate Center, CUNY – join together to share an evening of intimate music created by “virginalist composers,” those English keyboard musicians writing for virginal, clavichord, harpsichord, and chamber organ in the late 1500s and early 1600s, the period of peak English exploration of the New World.
Included in the program will be Two by Two’s mashup of “The Battle of Trenton,” à la William Byrd.
