Gloria Cheng The Intrepid Harpsichord

Grammy winning pianist Gloria Cheng brings her custom-made blue and red harpsichord to Monk Space for a concert featuring music that is both adventurous and eclectic. Includes the music of West Coast composers Lou Harrison, Sally Mosher, Veronika Krausas, Carolyn Yarnell, and Karen Tanaka, the U.S. premiere of Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottirs Fingerprints, and harpsichord mainstays Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Louis Couperin, and György Ligeti. Steven Montagues Phrygian Tucket, for amplified harpsichord and tape, closes the program.
