About the event

Why harpsichord? Why 300-400 years old music? How to listen to it? What does it express and how can we relate to what people felt so long ago? All these scary questions come to mind when we think of a Baroque music concert, and Elizaveta Miller will try to give you some answers - by sharing her ideas about this amazing and rich period of Western musical culture, and by playing on her harpsichord, built after one of the instruments that belonged to JS Bach.
