Jean Rondeau’s art flows instinctively from his boundless imagination, a place where a moment’s silence can prove as meaningful as a mighty flourish of virtuosity. The French harpsichordist, aptly described by the Washington Post as ‘one of the most natural performers one is likely to hear on a classical music stage these days’, begins his Wigmore Hall Residency with an excursion into the keyboard suites of Louis Couperin on the eve of the French Baroque composer’s 400th anniversary year.

For the ninth year of PIVOT, guest curator Gabriel Kahane and friends dig deep into music that asks enduring and enlightening questions about our ever-changing world and seeks the uplift of answers rooted in shared experience. Gabriel Kahane is a musician and storyteller whose work exists at the intersection of art and social practice, and “his music is suffused with idiosyncratic, enriched tonal harmony…he is one of the finest, most searching songwriters of the day” (The New Yorker). “We’re living in a golden age of string quartets…It’s hard to disagree when you hear the vibrant young players in New York’s Attacca Quartet” (NPR). Grammy-winning vocal band Roomful of Teeth can seemingly make anything cool, “From death metal to throat singing to alpine yodeling, the experimental group is changing what it means to harmonize” (The New Yorker).
