Early Music Academy on Period Instruments

(Pipe organ, harpsichord, violin)

During the 17th and 18th centuries, all harpsichord players were organists, and all organists were harpsichord players, all of that is well know. All composers were organists and harpsichord players; this is a well known fact as well. All were playing violin, and played continuo, we know that too. But what can we do to get close to the composers of that period? We, who are wishing to play the music that we love beautifully.

The Lanvellec summer Academy brings an answer to this question offering a course which brings those fundamental subjects together (to read more...)
