In-Person Musical Performance: “The Four Harpsichord Concert”

200 West Jones Avenue, San Antonio TX

03 September, 2021

Description

The San Antonio Museum of Art presents an orchestral suite by composer Nathan Felix, featuring newly written music for four harpsichords, strings, and a choir. The music draws inspiration from the exhibition America’s Impressionism: Echoes of a Revolution. Local harpsichord builder Gerald Self will introduce the performance with a brief discussion on the history of harpsichords and give insight into his building process. The ensuing performance will be designed to create a surround-sound aural experience as each harpsichord will be strategically spaced within SAMA’s Great Hall to form a wide circle in which the audience will sit.
