Clavichord Connections

Part of the Petworth Festival 2018

Add to my Calendar 04-08-2018 12:00 04-08-2018 14:00 36 Julian Perkins For full programme details please visit the event page: https://www.petworthfestival.org.uk/julian-perkins-clavichord.html Described by the Sunday Times as “exuberantly stylish”, Julian Perkins enjoys a demanding career as a conductor and keyboard player. He is the Artistic Director of Cambridge Handel Opera and Founder Director of Sounds Baroque. For this highly intimate lunchtime event in Petworth’s Catholic Church, Julian will introduce us to the clavichord, the elegant stringed keyboard instrument that was used largely in the late Medieval, through the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical eras. Historically, it was mostly used as a practice instrument and as an aid to composition, not being loud enough for larger performances. Church of Sacred Heart, Petworth DD/MM/YYYY
