The eclectic combination, the magic of sounds from the past and the provocation of modern music, cannot fail to attract the attention of musicians and listeners alike. Part of the fascination of the harpsichord, imbibed with nostalgia and sacredness, is that it takes us back to olden times. Innovation on this instrument almost seems to be a taboo. It gives a kaleidoscope of never ending interesting and seductive emotions.

Novecembalo introduces contemporary harpsichord music to music lovers and novices through concerts at schools and festivals everywhere. We are also working to widen the repertoire through commissioning new works, and offer music education for children and adults, giving lectures and concerts for audiences who rarely have the chance to hear contemporary music. We carry out research, take part in international exchanges and have published articles and recorded harpsichord music from the 20 Century up to today.
