Bringing Early Music to Life
Historically‑informed performances.
Recitals, chamber music,
and salon programs.
Historically‑informed
Historically informed means letting evidence guide performance -
scores and sources, composers’ words, period instruments, and the
acoustics they knew.
Historically informed performance uses this knowledge to shape
tempo, articulation, and ornament, and to match instruments to
repertoire so each work speaks in its own colours.
I aim for immediacy: music that feels alive today because it
understands where it came from.
Keyboard Instruments
Early keyboard instruments include harpsichord, spinet, clavichord
and square piano. All have distinct touch, response and colour
palettes shaped by the music and makers of their time.
I match instrument to repertoire and room, setting registration,
temperament and pitch (A=392/415/430/440) so the style speaks
clearly.
Heard up close, their intimate sound invites attentive listening and
lets phrasing, counterpoint and rhetoric come through.
