Midday Musical Menu: Jan. 17

The next Midday Musical Menu concert on Wednesday, January 17 at 12:15 p.m. features harpsichordist Michael Delfín in a program of Bach, Scarlatti, and D’Anglebert.  Praised for “beautiful performances of great warmth” (Classical Voice of North Carolina), Michael Delfín captures the listener with sensitivity and flair on both the modern piano and historical keyboards. Mr. Delfín won the top prize ex aequo in the Ninth Jurow International Harpsichord Competition, shortly after being nominated to the Diapason 20 Under 30 Class of 2021. 

     Mr. Delfín is the artistic director of Cincinnati-based ensemble Seven Hills Baroque, which have appeared twice on this series, and the harpsichordist for the Bach Ensemble of St. Thomas. He recently joined the faculties of Cedarville University and Xavier University and has served on the continuo staff of the Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute. He makes his home with his wife and son in Cincinnati, where he serves as organist at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer. A native of Fresno, CA, Mr. Delfín holds degrees from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (including two doctorates: one in piano and the other in harpsichord), San Francisco Conservatory, Peabody Conservatory, and the Johns Hopkins University. 

A delicious lunch is available for $7.00 in the May Room from 11:30 a.m.

The concert is free.
