Conductor and harpsichordist Joseph Gascho performs this Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. Dr. Gascho enjoys a varied career as a baroque keyboardist–performing as a soloist and collaborative artist; conducting opera, orchestra and choir; editing and arranging scores; and teaching and lecturing. He has won numerous grants and prizes, including first prize in the 2002 Jurow International Harpsichord Competition. In addition to numerous performances in the United States, he served as claveciniste repetiteur and directed a chamber music program at the Academie d'Art-Lyrique in Aix-en-Provence, France. In the fall of 2010, he completed a doctorate at the University of Maryland. He teaches at the George Washington University and at Oberlin Conservatory's Baroque Performance Institute.
Saturday's concert will feature works from Gascho's recently released solo harpsichord CD.
