I was invited to give a private concert and talk as part of the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra League’s Musicale Series so I  a took my 2009 Anne Acker Flemish Double harpsichord to Hilton Head, SC into a lovely private home to give a presentation with talking and performing to a very appreciative and music-loving audience of about 60 members of the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra League.  A number of them showed up to help bring in the harpsichord, and then take it back to my van as rain started and storm clouds loomed!

Works included ranged from the earliest published, to variations on an Elizabethan bawdy song, to Elizabeth Jacquet, to Scarlatti and more.

While knowledgeable about music, like many such otherwise educated and curious people, they knew little about how harpsichords work and their history.  They were most appreciative and we had a good time!
