Musicians:
Richard Egarr was appointed Music Director of the Academy of Ancient Music in 2006. He was Associate Artist of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra from 2011 to 2017 and has been appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the Residentie Orkest in The Hague from 2019. He is Artistic Partner of The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and Music Director Designate of Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale. He will assume Music Directorship in 2021. Egarr has conducted many leading orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra and period ensembles such as The Handel and Haydn Society. As well as an accomplished conductor Egarr is also a brilliant harpsichordist, and equally skilled on the organ and fortepiano. He regularly plays solo at major venues such as Wigmore Hall, London, and Carnegie Hall, New York, and has recorded many albums for Harmonia Mundi and Linn. He is patron of the Geelvinck Fortepiano Festival. Egarr trained as a choirboy at York Minster, was organ scholar at Clare College Cambridge, and later studied with Gustav and Marie Leonhardt. He is a Visiting Artist and Professor at The Juilliard School in New York and previously he has been professor for fortepiano at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. .
Born in Moscow, Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya studied piano and early keyboards in Moscow, Amsterdam and Munich. She has won top prizes at competitions held in Austria, Saint Petersburg, Prague and Leipzig. She appears regularly as a soloist and chamber partner at festivals all over Europe, Russia and Asia. She loves playing early keyboards, particularly with her Duo Pleyel partner, and husband, Richard Egarr. Alexandra plays often recitals for Geelvinck Music in Museums.
They just released the new CD ‘Schubert: Lebensstürme – Music for Piano Four-Hands’. Among many other fantastic quatre-mains pieces by Schubert, you’ll find the Fantasie in f minor, to be performed live in our program.
May 3rd is also the birthday of Alexandra!
Instrument:
The historic fortepiano was built in Vienna, 1867, by Johann Baptist Streicher (1796-1871), purveyor to the Imperial Austrian Court since 1839. This fine instrument, which is part of the collection of Museum Geelvinck (formerly part of the famous Finchcocks Collection), was restored by Gijs Wilderom and is being tuned by Hans Kramer (De Pianotemmer).

Free tickets
Free tickets are meant for students, professional musicians, professors / teachers of music and musical heritage professionals, as well as for Friends and Maecenases of Museum Geelvinck.
Support: Donate!
In this time of Covid-19, there are many on-line efforts, which are free of charge. However, neither musicians, nor museums can live from the wind. We kept the ticket price really low: just € 5.00 (including 9% VAT) per view. Obviously, this low ticket price will not generate enough revenues for covering the costs of this live stream concert. Not to mention, that, like many other museums, concert venues and festival organisations, our museum is already in the ‘survival mode’, due to the government restrictions to curb the spreading of Covid-19. Also note, that our museum does not receive any structural government subsidies.
However, for our circle of musicians and piano technicians the current situation is even much worse: no paid concerts, means no income.
Therefore, Geelvinck Livestream Concerts aims at realising concerts, which generate income for them.
In addition, we hope to give our audience the joy of listening ‘live’ music performed on historical pianos.
This way, we try to keep our musical heritage, both tangible and intangible, alive!
That is why we kindly ask you to give a generous donation, when you buy your ticket.
The concert is part of a short series of Geelvinck Livestream Concerts with the theme ‘Freedom‘ in honour of the commemoration of 75 years after the liberation of the Netherlands from the Nazi Occupation by the Allied Forces.
With gratitude to the Luther Museum, Amsterdam, which has provided the venue free of charge.
The Geelvinck Salon concert series are realised with support by the SKIP-arrangement of the Fonds voor Podiumkunsten.

Geelvinck Livestream Concerts
Zoals alle musea en concertpodia, heeft ons museum vanwege de Corona-maatregels alle geplande concerten moeten cancellen. Daarmee zijn onze eigen inkomsten vrijwel opgedroogd, terwijl de vaste kosten wel gewoon doorlopen. Zonder daarover zielig te willen zeuren, is Museum Geelvinck nu daardoor in de ‘overlevingsmodus’ geraakt.
Maar voor onze musici, van wie alle inkomsten gestokt zijn, is de situatie zo niet nog nijpender.
Deze livestream concerten zijn opgezet om de musici toch ‘live’ concerten te kunnen laten uitvoeren. Zo kunnen wij de musici in deze barre tijden helpen en bovendien onze historische fortepiano’s tot klinken brengen.
Voor de lage ticketprijs van € 5 (incl. 9% BTW) per view kan dit concert vanzelfsprekend financieel niet uit. Musici moeten een gage ontvangen in lijn met de Fair Practice Code en bovendien vormt de professionele productie van een live stream een relatief hoge extra kostenpost, die bovenop de reguliere kosten van het organiseren van een concert komt. Normaal betaalt u € 18 per persoon voor een ticket en nu hoeft u niet van huis en kunt u vanuit uw luie stoel toch van het concert genieten voor slechts € 5 (en iedereen in uw huiskamer mag meekijken en -luisteren).
Daarom vragen wij u bij de aankoop van uw ticket ook een donatie te doen. Bij voorbaat hartelijk dank.
Met dank aan het Luther Museum, dat de kerkzaal belangeloos voor dit concert aan ons ter beschikking heeft gesteld.
De Geelvinck Salon is mede mogelijk gemaakt door de SKIP-regeling van het Fonds voor Podiumkunsten.
Vrijkaarten
Studenten, professionele musici, muziekdocenten, musicologen en professionals op het terrein van muziekgeschiedenis, musea en erfgoed nodigen wij uit gebruik te maken van de knop ‘Vrijkaart’. Verder is de knop ‘Vrijkaart’ uitsluitend bedoeld voor Vrienden en Maecenassen van Museum Geelvinck, alsmede familieleden van de uitvoerend musici en van de jarigen die wij met dit concert eren: M.M.J. Buisman-Boele en C. de Jager.

Corona-maatregelen:
Richard en Alexandra zijn niet alleen muzikale partners, maar ook levenspartners: getrouwd! Daarom is quatre-mains (waarbij ze samen de piano bespelen) binnen de Corona-maatregels toegestaan. De cameraman staat op meer dan twee meter afstand. Er is bij de opnames geen publiek aanwezig.
