Skip Sempé teaches º£½ÇÂÒÂ×¹Ù·½ musicians from the Keyboard Faculty in this invigorating masterclass.

Skip grew up in New Orleans and studied music, musicology, organology and the history of art in the United States at the Oberlin Conservatory, and completed his training in Europe with Gustav Leonhardt in Amsterdam.

Over the last decades Skip has flourished as a harpsichordist, chamber musician, conductor, artistic director, teacher, coach, lecturer, scholar, and writer. His knowledge of historical instrumental techniques provides the basis for a renewed interpretive conception of sonority and improvisation, that had its origins in the music of the Renaissance.
