A new harpsichord for LNM
A little over a year and a half ago La Nuova Musica commissioned a single strung Italian style harpsichord after a c. 1700 model from the excellent English harpsichord maker Andrew Wooderson of Bexley Harpsichord Workshops Ltd. It's first public performance will be on 31st October in St Martin's church. We hope to see you there!
