Embark on a journey back in time and hear music performed on three different keyboard instruments in one concert, providing a delightful glimpse into the history of the piano as we know it today. Ilya Poletaev, an artist equally at home on modern and historical instruments, will perform works on the spinnet, the harpsichord, and the grand piano, making this a very rare and special concert you definitely won’t want to miss!
