In celebration of the harpsichord and the 250th anniversary of the United States, this recital
explores the music that shaped the early American colonies. The program juxtaposes works by notable American composers such as Peter Pelham and Benjamin Carr with widely admired English composers, including George Frideric Handel and Elizabeth Turner. The recital concludes with a newly commissioned work by Sunny Knable, composed specifically for the semiquincentennial, reflecting on the United States’ historical journey and enduring spirit.
