Clavichord Concert in San Diego

(I emailed this but haven't seen it turn up, so I'm posting again from the web interface...)

List,

I'm sending this announcement we received on the MMM list from Judith Conrad, who will be playing in San Diego this weekend in tunings other than 12tet (I'll forward exact concert location info when I get it):

Clavichord Concert

San Diego Harpsichord Society Clavichord Days, Poway, CA
October 26 and 27, 2002 at 2:00 P. M.

Judith Conrad, keyboard artist

Playing a five-octave fretted clavichord after one built by Manoel do Carmo of Oporto, Portugal 1796 which is now in the Lisbon Conservatory Collection. Built 2001 by Owen Daly of Salem, Oregon; pairwise fretted in the Iberian Manner.

By nature it is given to me, Music of strings
To love full well;
Its soft and gentle sound sets free the greatest
Joy my heart can tell;
And so all praise to thee, my ward,
Thou sweet and gentle clavichord.
(Christian Weise, 1684)

Judith writes: "This coming weekend I will be outside San Diego, in Poway California where the San Diego Harpsichord Society is having a clavichord exposition Saturday and Sunday, with maybe 10 instruments on display for people to try from 11 to 2 and me giving an informal concert on one of them at 2:00 each day.

I'll be playing on a copy of a late Portuguese instrument in 6th comma meantone, I know at least one of the instruments on display will be in classic quarter-comma meantone, and the others will mainly be in one non-equal circulating temperament or another, at least if I am who is doing the tuning. The concerts seat a maximum of 20 and I think they are theoretically sold out, 'especially Saturday', I am told, but chances are I could squeeze a serious microtonalist in. "There's always room for one more at a round table!", I proved by mathematical induction in some silly high school new math course. Remember New Math?"

Cheers,
Jon (who unfortunately can't attend, but knows micro people in SD might want to)
