About this Performance
“Flipping stereotypes is one way of characterizing the remarkable career of Mahan Esfahani,” (The Seattle Times). Esfahani has recorded the traditional repertoire but also worked with leading composers to create new music and new opportunities for an instrument that was often seen as niche or a historical relic. The virtuoso harpsichordist performs a recital brimming with skill, versatility, and freshness.
