Stephen Preston Recital
November 10, 2009 by Stephen Schneider
The Greater Portland Flute Society will sponsor Baroque flutist Stephen Preston and harpsichordist Susan Jensen, principal harpsichordist of Portland Baroque Orchestra, in recital on Saturday, November 14, at 7;30 pm at Grace Memorial.
Stephen Preston is one of the leading musicians in the development of early music performance in the United Kingdom and Europe, and one of its most respected figures. His area of expertise extends from the 17th to the 19th centuries, and he is at home from the music of Bach and Mozart as he is with Schubert and Weber.
Preston lectures, teaches and coaches at Britain's four leading music academies, the Royal College of of Music, the Royal Academy of Muisc, Trinity College, and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
