Nathan Mondry (DMA student), accompanied by violinists Rafa Prendergast and Nic Vigilante with cellist Cullen O'Neil, presents a snapshot from the mid-18th century, when the keyboard soundscape was one of uncertainty and experimentation and the piano was at the cusp of “triumphing” over the harpsichord. Compositions by Balbastre, J.C. Bach, and Haydn, performed on Cornell's replicas of the Gottfried Silbermann 1749 piano and Jacques Germain 1785 harpsichord.

Campus visitors and members of the public must adhere to Cornell’s public health requirements for events.
