Master Harpsichordist, Jory Vinikour
Jory Vinikour
SPECTACULAR harpsichordist, Jory Vinikour—who you don”t want to miss—will perform a broad program Monday, March 28 at 8:00 P.M. in the Simons Center Recital Hall. The selections will include Baroque and twentieth-century works.
Jory played works of J.S. Bach and Jean-Philippe Rameau last year at the College of Charleston Monday Night Series, before which he sat down with us for two extensive interviews where he discussed the great harpsichord composers and how the harpsichord compares to the piano. The year before that he played Bach’s Goldberg Variations at Bach Festival Charleston, performing on the German-style harpsichord at First (Scots) Presbyterian Church.
Let’s hope he keeps coming to town every year.
