Hunt-Berry Duo presents "Chamber Music from the Berry-Munschy Salon"

This program offers baroque and classical era chamber music selections organized around the unique collection of historical instruments housed in the Berry-Munschy Music Room at the home of fortepianist Sylvia Berry and historical keyboard restorer Dale Munschy in Weymouth, MA. Together, they’ve curated a beautiful collection of early keyboard instruments including a harpsichord, virginal, square piano, Viennese fortepiano, and a Broadwood grand. Last winter the Hunt-Berry Duo spent an intensive period working together in this space, providing a glimpse into what it may have been like for 18th-century keyboard doyenne Anne Louise Brillon de Jouy and her collaborators. Thanks to the virtual nature of this concert, audiences can experience the same intimate salon atmosphere created in the homes of keyboardists like Brillon de Jouy and Therese Jansen as they hear works by Bach, Beethoven, and their contemporaries.
