Demystifying the Harpsichord: A Day of Hands-on Immersion at Longy Sunday, October 26, 2025 10am-5pm A one-day crash course in the exciting world of the harpsichord, led by Longy’s early keyboard faculty Drs. John McKean and Vivian Montgomery, featuring a performance-talk illuminating the instrument, individual instruction, independent practice time, and a collective masterclass. Student keyboardists will be exposed to the spectrum of liberating harpsichord practices, Baroque style, and improvised continuo accompaniment, getting their hands on Longy’s beautiful and varied instruments, with some attention to the fortepiano and chamber organ.
