SOLO
"Julian Perkins's riveting performance of
Preludes and Fugues from Book 1 of the Wohltemperirte
Clavier in 2009 was a sell-out, and with good reason! If you
were one of those who
had to be turned away, don't miss this opportunity to hear the
astonishing
clavichord in the hands of a master. Book your tickets
early."
