Bravo to Michael McHugh for his wonderful debut performance as a harpsichordist yesterday afternoon at our first Spotlight concert 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 It was a good mix of continuo and solo repertoire, including an amazing suite in G minor by Jean-Henri d’Anglebert.

Thank you to Miki Wu for the photos, and a big thank you to our lovely audience for the warm reception and great questions.

Our next concerts will take place on Dec. 8 and 9, 7pm at Memorial Park Library. We’ll be discussing and playing music from one of 18th-century Scotland’s most influential music societies.
