Abstract

Harpsichordists Yonit Kosovske and Rachel Factor performed Johann Sebastian Bach’s "Die Kunst der Fuge" (Art of the Fugue) at the 2026 Galway Early Music Festival. Composed in Bach’s final decade of life, this monumental masterpiece represents the summit of his contrapuntal exploration in monothematic and imitative composition.

Yonit and Rachel have been collaborating together as a harpsichord duo for over eight years in concerts throughout Ireland and the UK. Their creative programming has spanned 500 years of repertoire, from Baroque to Contemporary works by living composers from Ireland and around the globe.
