In a festival where contemporary techniques demand a lot from the instruments, unexpected things can happen– such as an urgent maintenance need during a concert. Luckily we have the amazing Anton Amir as our festival tuner, ready to jump on stage to fix a harpsichord on the spot!
The jury of the harpsichord competition: Menno van Delft, Jane Chapman and Kristian Nyquist hard at work adjudicating the finals. The winners will be announced tomorrow night during the closing concert at Orgelpark at 20:15. Will you come and join the excitement?
