About the Event
The Harpsichord Master – a little known publication from 1697, including music by Purcell not found elsewhere, turned up in the Auckland Public Library. Peter Watts plays through the book on a Flemish style harpsichord, based on instruments of Purcell’s time, and explains how The Harpsichord Master came to be in New Zealand, and how significant a find it is.
Please note this is a change from the previously advertised programme. The scheduled Harpsichord Master programme will now take place on Wednesday 30 August.
All are welcome! Entrance by Koha.
