Lincoln Center Local: Mahan Esfahani, Harpsichord Friday, April 21st at 1pm in the Kingsley Room at Southbury Library
Join us for a pre-recorded screening of Mahan Esfahani, harpsichord which was performed at the Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse as a part of the Mostly Mozart Festival on August 5, 2016. Named BBC Music Magazine's 2015 Newcomer of the Year, Iranian-born Mahan Esfahani has traveled the globe, from Boston to Prague to London, on a singular quest to prove the harpsichord is not only still relevant, but revolutionary. The "exhaustingly brilliant" artist (New York Times) presents a late-night ode to the ultimate keyboard composer, from beloved excerpts of Bach's Well-tempered Clavier through a 1978 chaconne by the avant-garde composer György Ligeti.
