Parker Ramsay, Harp & Harpsichord at Merkin Concert Hall at Kaufman Music Center (Site)

ARTIST AS CURATOR
Curated by Parker Ramsay

With Miranda Cuckson, violin and Jay Campbell, cello
The boundary-defying harpist Parker Ramsay joins two celebrated collaborators – acclaimed violinist Miranda Cuckson and cellist Jay Campbell, the “electrifying” (The New York Times) two-time Avery Fisher Carer Grant recipient – for an evening of world premieres by George Friedrich Haas and Christopher Trapani, plus early music from Italy and Austria. The evening explores alternate tunings found in music from modern to baroque.
