Description
Co-directed by Yonit Kosovske, the H.I.P.S.T.E.R. series presented a solo concert by harpsichordist Rachel Factor whose programme told the story of Queen Elizabeth's Italian virginal harpsichord through music featuring some of England's and Italy's most celebrated composers from the 16th and early 17th century. Works featured include compositions from The Dublin Virginal Manuscript, The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book and such Italian composers as Picchi, Valente and Merulo. Rachel performed on her new harpsichord built by Andrew Garlick in 2023, modelled after Queen Elizabeth I’s own virginal.
