Early Keyboard Day

  • CCM's Mary Emery Hall 5230 290 CCM Boulevard Cincinnati, OH, 45221 United States (map)

Drs. Micaela Schmitz and Michael Unger present an Early Keyboard Day. The day includes talks and demonstrations on early keyboards, including the venue's Baroque style organ, clavichords, and harpsichords. Keyboard players will have opportunities to try their hand at the various instruments, and early keyboard maker Robert Duffy is planning to be there with one or more of his instruments. The day will end with a concert from 12:15-1pm by the two presenters, both of whom were once students of Arthur Haas at the Eastman School of Music. They now bring their passion for early keyboard music to the Cincinnati area.

Players are encouraged to bring music but please note that if you wish to try clavichord please also bring photocopies of your originals, since those music holders cannot hold full size books easily. Intended for all levels.

Parking is available at the CCM parking garage, CCM Blvd off of Corry Blvd. To the presenters’ knowledge, there are no special events at CCM on this day. Those coming for the concert may want to allow a little extra time
because there is a Women's Lacrosse event at Nippert Stadium at noon.

The cost is $15 to attend, and pre-registration is recommended. Free to those aged 15 or younger. All minors to be accompanied by an adult.
