A recital featuring Baroque and early Classical keyboard music presented by harpsichordist Bradley Lehman and and pianist Beverly Lapp, both alumni of Goshen College, will be held on Friday, March 18 at 7:30 p.m. in Rieth Recital Hall. Tickets are $7 adults, $5 seniors/students. GC students, faculty and staff are free with ID.

Repertoire will include works by JS Bach and his sons CPE Bach and WF Bach, as well as Christoph Graupner, Marianna D'Auenbrugger, Haydn, and Mozart. Both instruments will be tuned using the keyboard temperament discovered by Lehman and believed to have been Johann Sebastian Bach's own preference for the Well-Tempered Clavier. Details of this tuning are published in Early Music (Oxford University Press, 2005) and available through http://www.larips.com.

Bradley Lehman did his graduate work in music at the University of Michigan. There he earned master's degrees in early keyboard instruments and musicology, and a doctorate in harpsichord. His teachers included Edward Parmentier, Penelope Crawford, and James Kibbie. He has worked closely with Baroque specialists Enid Sutherland, Jaap Schroeder, David Sariti, and with singer Norma Gentile and trumpeter Martin Hodel. Dr. Lehman's repertoire spans most of the solo keyboard literature from 1500 to 1775, plus Renaissance and Baroque ensemble music and some modern works. He is particularly interested in historical styles, unequal temperaments, transcriptions, and directness of expression through musical rhetoric. In addition to his concert work in North America, Germany, and Costa Rica, he has served several congregations as organist and music leader. His musical activities include various performances on harpsichord, organ, clavichord, virginal, fortepiano, and piano, composition of hymns and keyboard music, continuo work, and collecting and producing recordings.
