Faculty and Guest Recital: Lillian Gordis, harpsichord and Jérôme Hantaï, viola da gamba

Watch the webcast  – streamed live at concert time.

A recital presented by Visiting Assistant Professor of Harpsichord Lillian Gordis and guest artist Jérôme Hantaï, viola da gamba in Kulas Recital Hall. 

"Jérôme Hantaï (viola da gamba) and Lillian Gordis (harpsichord) have been performing as a duo since 2018, inspired as much by the contrast between the vocality of the viol and the cutting crispness of the harpsichord as by the mix of rich and varied timbres of their instruments. Together, they seek a common sound that lies between the singing inertia of the bow and the percussive attack of the keyboard. This ensemble is a chance for these artists to play with new energy and to explore the fresh synergy nourished by their respective identities as soloists. They have toured in France, Switzerland, Italy and the United States."
