Harpist Micheline Kahn’s (1889-1987) commitment to new scores helped to build a stunning literature for the harp. Yet her early retirement from the stage made her an enigmatic figure, whose importance has somewhat fallen into shadow. Using letters, reviews and contemporary accounts as well as music by composers who admired her, Harp Fellow Alexander Rider paints a portrait of Fauré’s Châtelaine. The recital also includes the première of Robert Saxton’s Toccata, Passacaglia Canonica and Dance for solo harp.
Admission free
