Donald Angle
Donald Angle’s music comes from, or is influenced most directly by, twentieth-century pop, country and jazz, and is mostly geared to solo performance on the harpsichord.
Don began playing in public at the age of twelve and moved to Boston, Massachusetts, in 1961 to study at the Berklee School (now College) of Music.
In 1962 he took a “temporary” job with the harpsichord maker William Dowd, and stayed twenty-eight years. During that employment he was encouraged to try some of this material on the harpsichord, and it was so well received that concerts and recordings became an increasingly important part of his activity.
He has appeared in Europe at Merseburger Orgeltage 2002, on Austrian Radio, at the Rodin Gallery in Seoul, South Korea, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. He has also made four appearances with the Augusta (Georgia) Pops Orchestra, playing his orchestrated keyboard arrangements.

Bizarre or baRock
Elizabeth Anderson explores harpsichord music across four centuries: from Conceição’s raw 17th-century battle piece and traditional Baroque repertoire to jazz, blues, Gershwin and the Beatles with drums and bass. Weird, wild, wacky and wonderful – you’ve never heard the harpsichord like this.
