Crescendo Concerts presents Hommage à Wanda Landowska: “A Treasury of Harpsichord Music”

September 14 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

$40

A harpsichord solo recital “A Treasury of Harpsichord Music” is performed by Kenneth Weiss, professor at the Paris Conservatoire, France, in honor of the legendary harpsichord virtuoso and scholar Wanda Landowska.

In Landowska’s hometown, Lakeville, Conn., Weiss plays works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Domenico Scarlatti, Jacques Champion de Chambonnières, Jean-Philippe Rameau, François Couperin, Henry Purcell, George Frederick Handel, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The selection is the recreation of the landmark 1957 recording “A Treasury of Harpsichord Music” by Wanda Landowska.

Special support for this concert has been provided by Leszek Wojcik. Support for this concert has also been provided by the Connecticut State Department of Economic and Community Development/Connecticut Office of the Arts (COA) from the Connecticut State Legislature, and NBT Bank. We thank WMHT Radio for their ongoing support.
